The event was opened by Richard Reed, founder of Innocent Drinks and what followed was a masterclass in start up by Tim Campbell. The entrepreneurs were facilitated in small group discussions by over 40 volunteers from our sponsor Accenture supported by Bright Ideas business mentors. All had a chance to create a business model diagram and to practice how to pitch their bright idea to each other. The winning pitch per group was rewarded with a signed copy of Tim & Paul’s book “What’s your bright idea?”. During the afternoon, over 9 kg of jelly bears were consumed by the young entrpreneurs – now that’s a record, surely?

Lisa will take over from founder Tim Campbell on March 2nd 2012 working alongside the group of dedicated Trustees and management team.  On the appointment Tim commented, “After a long search I am really happy that we have found a brilliant candidate to take hold of the reigns of the Charity at a time when it is growing and helping more young aspiring business people than ever. With Lisa’s experience and skills we are confident she will build on the successes of Bright Ideas Trust to date and take it to another level.”

Speaking of her recent appointment Lisa stated, “ I am really looking forward to working with the team at Bright Ideas Trust; As a parent of teenagers myself, I understand just how challenging the future might seem to some of them at the moment. It’s vital that the work the Charity does is understood and spread across London, so that the talent so many young people have can be materialised, recognised and sustained. “

Following her successful track record of running the Kingston Chamber of Commerce for 12 years coupled with a strong marketing background, the growth of the charity and ultimately empowerment of more of those who are Not in Employment, Education or Training (NEET) is in good hands.
