Beat The Boss
Beat The BossBusiness woman and former contender on The Apprentice Saira Khan is set to uncover the next generation of young entrepreneurial talent in a new BBC series - Beat the Boss.
The series will pit a team of three children against a team of three adult business-people.
The teams will have to come up with a brand new product for this children's market, the adults using their experience of the business world, and the kids using their imagination and ingenuity.
In each programme business woman Saira Khan delivers the brief to both teams and the clock starts ticking. First they must do some vital market research, then its time to brainstorm and try to come up with a winning product.
A judging panel of 25 children will then cast votes in a secret ballot to decide whose product wins.
The winners will leave the Beat the Boss HQ to party in their limo, while the losers have no choice but to catch the bus home.
Saira Khan said: "I'm thrilled to be working on this project, and filming so far has proved what I already knew – that if you give kids the tools they need for business, they have just as much energy, enthusiasm and passion as adults and they aren't afraid to think bold and big.
"The teams of adults from the business world have been impressed and utterly amazed by what the kids have come up with so far".
The series starts on BBC One from May 22.
