“I’m a bit of a nutter,” says Tim Campbell with a laugh. “Rolling around in kimonos, trying not to get my arm or legs broken…” The 49-year-old is talking about his latest martial arts infatuation, Brazilian jiu-jitsu. “I love martial arts because I like doing things that are hard, because actually, it makes other hard stuff, in an uncontrolled environment, easier to deal with,” he explains wisely.
Campbell, who, in 2005 became the first winner of the British version of The Apprentice, also describes himself as “a glass half-full person” making him the ideal guy – tough but positive – to tackle hard conversations around health. Hence why the London-born businessman and entrepreneur is a longtime collaborator of Prostate Cancer UK.
