The Apprentice star Lawrence Rosenberg is set to appear at an exclusive charity evening, sharing stories from his time on the BBC series. The event, hosted at Amalfi Ristorante in London's West End, will raise funds for the children's charity Dreams Come True.
Event Details and Format
Scheduled for Tuesday, June 16, the evening at Amalfi Ristorante on Argyll Street will feature a live Q&A session with the entrepreneur, accompanied by a three-course Italian meal. With only 65 tickets available, this exclusive gathering offers a rare opportunity for attendees to gain firsthand insights into one of television's most demanding business competitions.
Tickets and Fundraising
Tickets are priced at £50, with all proceeds directly benefiting Dreams Come True, the charity partner of The Big Table Group. Lawrence Rosenberg, who has a professional background in PR and public affairs, competed in the 20th series of The Apprentice, vying for Lord Alan Sugar's £250,000 investment and mentorship.
Out of 20 candidates, the 27-year-old entrepreneur reached the final five after tackling high-pressure business challenges across the globe, from Hong Kong to Egypt, showcasing his communications expertise to millions of viewers. His journey concluded during the show's intense interview stage, where business plans undergo rigorous scrutiny by Lord Sugar's trusted advisers.

The hospitality group, which operates brands including Bella Italia, Las Iguanas, Banana Tree, Frankie & Benny's, Chiquito, Café Rouge, and Amalfi, raised these funds through gala events, sporting challenges, and community initiatives involving staff and supporters across the UK.
