TV show winner moves on

THE first Apprentice winner, Tim Campbell, has quit his £100,000-a-year job with Sir Alan Sugar.

Campbell was hired in 2005 and given a job in the health and beauty division of Sir Alan's electronics firm Amstrad after success on the TV show.

He proved so successful that the tycoon kept him on at the end of his year-long contract.

Now the former London Transport manager is branching out on his own with two new projects: a male grooming business and a social enterprise initiative called The Bright Ideas Trust which will give away at least £1 million a year to budding entrepreneurs.

And unlike series two winner Michelle Dewberry, who lasted only a few months in the job, Campbell has Sir Alan's full backing.
