The Apprentice runner-up Helen Milligan lands top job at bakery store

Helen will be responsible for 2,300 staff

Helen Milligan has 'no regrets' about her time on The Apprentice

Helen Milligan isn't too worried about losing out to Tom Pellereau in The Apprentice as she's just bagged herself an impressive new job.

The former Executive Assistant quit her job at Greggs for the chance to go into business with Lord Alan Sugar, but now the bakery chain have taken her back and promoted her to head of retail for south-east England.

'It's really great to be back,' says Helen, 30. 'I'm really excited to get my teeth into work again.'

Helen failed to impress Lord Sugar in Sunday's final with her plan for a national concierge service but has since decided against starting her own business.

'I am more suited to being an employee in the corporate world than an entrepreneur,' she tells The Sun.

'I was very lucky that Greggs gave me time off to The Apprentice. They are a really good company to work for.'
