Joseph Valente

Joseph Valente stands as a true embodiment of entrepreneurial excellence, renowned for his extraordinary achievements as the youngest winner of The Apprentice UK in 2015. Notably, he became the first candidate in the show’s history to “fire” Lord Alan Sugar, reclaiming full ownership of the business they co-founded with a £250,000 investment. By the age of 34, Joseph had built two thriving 8-figure businesses, solidifying his reputation as an entrepreneurial trailblazer and earning the moniker “King of Construction.” His ascent from challenging beginnings to the heights of business success exemplifies resilience, innovation, and self-belief, making him an inspirational figure for aspiring leaders and entrepreneurs alike.

Raised in a challenging environment with an alcoholic father and facing expulsion from school, Joseph’s early life was fraught with adversity. Despite these obstacles, he charted a path to success, starting his career as a plumbing apprentice.

By 29, he had founded ImpraGas, the largest independent plumbing and heating company in the UK, and later established Trade Mastermind, a business dedicated to helping tradesmen evolve into successful entrepreneurs. In just three years, he transformed Trade Mastermind into an 8-figure enterprise, a testament to his strategic insight and leadership skills.

Joseph’s influence extends beyond his business ventures. As a business coach, mentor, and growth specialist, he has empowered countless entrepreneurs to generate over half a billion pounds in the UK. His best-selling book, “Expelled From The Classroom To Billionaire Boardroom,” and his number-one podcasts provide invaluable lessons on leadership, sales, and scaling businesses.
