He said: "Having completed my studies, I felt it was the right time for me to use the invaluable experience I have gained at Amsprop to start up on my own.

"I would like to sincerely thank the staff at Amsprop for all the help, assistance and co-operation they have given me during my three years with the company.

"In particular, I would like to thank Lord Sugar for giving me the opportunity to have such a tremendous apprenticeship at one of the most dynamic property companies around."

Lord Sugar said: "Having learnt the ropes at Amsprop, Simon is leaving to pursue his own personal projects and we wish him the best of luck for the future."
