Tim Campbell, currently the Strategic Diversity & Inclusion Advisor for AMS, is famed as the winner of the first series of The Apprentice. In a comprehensive display of business skills, Tim was catapulted into a world very different from his previous job as a Project Manager for Transport for London. Having worked within Lord Alan Sugar's company, Tim has since founded his own businesses and is now hired as a speaker for a range of clients, covering his passions for business, strategy, entrepreneurship, diversity and inclusion.
After winning The Apprentice in 2005, Tim was appointed as the Integra Project Director for Amstrad, Lord Alan Sugar's company. Leaving the company in 2006, Tim co-founded the Bright Ideas Trust, a social investment fund that supported people aged 16 to 30 on a journey to creating their own businesses. Continuing his work with the company for 13 years, other prominent roles have included being the Mayor's Ambassador for Training and Enterprise for the Greater London Authority and a Governor and Board Chair of St Bonaventure's School.
Today, Tim is working as a Strategic Diversity and Inclusion Advisor for AMS, following his work as a Trading Futures Lead & Regional Head of Africa for OSTC Ltd. Other prominent roles include being Head of Global Citizenship for AMS and working in Client Services & Emerging Talent for AMS. Having built detailed experience in business, Tim was fortunate to publish his own book titled What's Your Bright Idea: The Journey To Starting Your Own Business - which earned him recognition as one of Amazon's Top 10 Business Books of 2010. Most recently in 2022, Tim was called to join Karren Brady as Lord Alan Sugar's Aide on The Apprentice.
With a proven history in business, Tim is now booked as a speaker for a range of business events, delivering engaging presentations on everything from recruitment to social enterprise and business planning. An experienced public speaker, Tim is booked to share his business journey and inspire budding entrepreneurs. Knowledgable in social media, fintech, event management and business planning, Tim will provide actionable takeaways in his speeches, leaving audiences feeling empowered and inspired to make a change. With previous speaking engagements for the Said Business School and the London School of Business, hire Tim Campbell today for an engaging and insightful speech.
