A Wigan businessman is set to step into the boardroom on the latest series of The Apprentice.
Aaron Willis will face up to Alan Sugar when the hit BBC show kicks off again on Thursday evening.
The 38-year-old, who lives in Chorley, served for 12 years in the RAF as a flight operations instructor but has since set out to start his own security firm based in Wigan.

He has previously held a range of roles and travelled across the world, working as a milkman, horseman and a butcher.
Speaking of his plans ahead of the show's latest season, Aaron said he was 'hungry for success' and at a stage now, where he 'can’t let anyone stand in his way'.
He added: “My strongest point is that I can sell, to anybody and I think that’s the reason why my business will be a success, because people will buy from me.”
Aaron is one of the only candidates on this year's apprentice who is based in the north of England.
Six out of the show's 16 contestants are from London with West Yorkshire-based Harpreet Kaur and Bradford's Shama Amin the only other northern entrepreneurs.
All of the candidates will be competing for the chance of a life-changing £250,000 investment in their business idea.
The Apprentice returns on Thursday, January 6, from 9pm on BBC One.
