Harpreet Kaur grew up in Brighouse, West Yorkshire, where her parents operated Waring Green Stores. Her parents, who ran their own businesses, provided early exposure to the realities of business ownership.
This family background would later influence her career path and business approach. While working full-time at Barclays Bank, she completed a degree through the Open University, balancing professional responsibilities with academic commitments.
Harpreet Kaur | Oh So Yum
In 2015, Harpreet co-founded Oh So Yum! with her sister, establishing dessert parlours in Leeds, Huddersfield, and Bradford. The brand offers a variety of sweet treats and caters to events such as weddings, baby showers, and product launches.
The dessert parlour gained local popularity and established a reputation for quality products and service. This experience in the food service industry provided her with practical knowledge about operations, customer service, and business management that would later prove invaluable during her time on The Apprentice.
In 2024, Harpreet decided to step away from Oh So Yum! to focus on other projects.
