Who is Conor Galvin? The Apprentice 2026 candidate and photobooth business owner

The Apprentice is back tonight, January 29th, with a fresh group of hopeful entrepreneurs. They’ll be pitching their business ideas to Lord Alan Sugar, hoping to win his approval.

Just like the previous winner, Dean Franklin, this year’s candidates will face a series of challenging tasks. They’ll be traveling around London and further afield to prove their skills in branding, sales, and negotiation.

For the very first time, Lord Sugar’s boardroom is heading to Hong Kong! The candidates will tackle a challenge in one of the world’s busiest and most exciting business centers.

Meet Conor Galvin, one of the hopefuls competing on The Apprentice 2026. Let’s take a look at his plan for success.

Who is Conor Galvin?

Occupation: Photobooth business owner

Location: Cork, Ireland

Conor Galvin owns Press Print Paper, a unique photobooth business that focuses on capturing stories through photos.

I’ve always been fascinated by his journey! He originally set out to become a doctor, but then he switched gears and ended up with degrees in both law and business. Even with all that education, he was still figuring out what he truly wanted to do with his life, which I find really relatable.

Starting my own business was a turning point for me. It boosted my confidence and gave me a real sense of purpose – a place where I could finally use my energy and creativity effectively. I don’t fit the typical corporate mold, and that’s okay with me. I enjoy my work, and I strive to make it unique, but more importantly, I’m resilient, resourceful, and comfortable being myself.

What is Conor Galvin’s business plan?

Conor plans to grow his photobooth business by opening locations in London, Manchester, and Birmingham.

Press Print Paper turns photos into unique keepsakes that tell a story. We create fun, personalized prints – like vintage newspapers, comic book covers, or themed designs – for weddings, birthdays, and company events. The goal is to deliver memorable prints that people will cherish for years to come.

Does Conor Galvin have social media?

Yes, you can find Conor on Instagram at @conorgalv, and check out his business page @pressprintpaper too.
