Atif Malik was joined on “The Big Shots” team by DotCom Entrepreneur Ian Chamings and Marketing Director Tamara Gillan. Their brief was to design the ultimate chill out chair and create the must-have furniture piece for the future.
While the opposition team (called The Bright Sparks!) created an extremely funky design covered in leather in the end the winners had to be The Big Shots with their gadget-and-gizmo festooned chair with lights and a built in sound system.
Atif Malik, who has been in business since the age of 11, is one of the youngest property tycoons in the country. A millionaire several times over he’s still only in his early thirties over a range of business interests including several property companies, bars and hotels.
His most recent ventures include the acquisition of a new shopping centre in Wigan with a view to transforming the centre of the city into a futuristic shopping experience.
The show, presented by Saira Khan (runner up in the first series of The Apprentice) is a children’s version of the business ideas show, Dragon’s Den where three young people take on three professional business people in an attempt to beat them at their own game.
