    “Business Starts And Ends With Credibility” - The Apprentice’s Tim Campbell Gives His Candid Advice!
    Jun 9 2026
    Tim Campbell MBE, entrepreneur, mentor, and the very first winner of The Apprentice, sits down with Ben. Tim takes us back to where it all started, winning the show in 2005 and stepping straight into the business world with Lord Sugar, before going on to build an impressive career of his own. From launching the Bright Ideas Trust to championing social mobility and helping young people start businesses, Tim’s journey is rooted in purpose as much as profit. We get into the realities of starting from scratch, the mindset needed to succeed, and what people often get wrong about building a career in business. Tim also shares honest reflections on resilience, pressure, and what he’s learned from both the highs and the setbacks along the way. Now back on The Apprentice as one of Lord Sugar’s trusted advisers, Tim brings a unique perspective on what it really takes to make it, and how to stay there.
