Biography
Tim Campbell, who was awarded the MBE for Enterprise Culture in the 2012 New Year’s Honours List, is the founder of his own entrepreneurial social enterprise, Bright Ideas Trust, small business owner and co-author of one of Amazon’s Top 10 business books for 2010, ‘What’s Your Bright Idea?’.
As an in demand speaker who is passionate about the power of business, Tim has been privileged to speak to global audiences and comment on a variety of topical matters, regularly appearing on BBC television and in broadsheet newspapers.

As the proud son of a Jamaican mother who benefitted from the Windrush generation’s pioneering efforts, I am extremely committed to ensuring everyone respects the legacy of those who were called to better the country many of us now call home. Those efforts are rarely acknowledged or reflected upon. The work of the committee is to share the stories, good and bad, so that their endeavours, and ours to inspire the next generation, were not in vain.
