Winner of the hit BBC series The Apprentice, Timothy Campbell has now left Amstrad PLC to start his own entrepreneurial venture; a social enterprise initiative – The Bright Ideas Trust. When he left Amstrad earlier this year to launch his own business, Sir Alan’s message to Tim was testament to his ability and potential.
“He has been a great asset to the company and I wish him the best of luck for the future. He was the right choice and I will be there to offer any help and guidance should he need it.”
Tim, 30, has gone on to found the Bright Ideas Trust, a social enterprise to encourage young budding entrepreneurs to start business ventures, by giving them greater access to start-up finance and business mentors and advisors.
He is a Cabinet Office Social Enterprise Ambassador and a Child Ambassador for London and was appointed by Beverley Hughes, the Children’s Minister, to focus on the particular problems of the capital’s young people. Tim is also closely involved with the Jack Petchey Foundation, the ACLT, as well as an active supporter of the NSPCC, Learn Direct and Connexions. He is the face of the British Library’s campaign to promote their services and has been described as ‘the human face of business’ as one broadsheet newspaper referred to him.
“With the right support and partnerships I see no reason why I cannot continue to pass on positive messages and help to others, particularly the next generation. I think we can attain the unthinkable.” He said.
Born in East London he lives with his fiancée Jasmine and their daughter Kayla, aged 6.
