After two years at Amstrad, Tim went on to set up the Bright Ideas Trust, a social enterprise aimed at supporting young entrepreneurs from disadvantaged backgrounds. He was then appointed as then-London Mayor Boris Johnson's training ambassador in 2010, and awarded an MBE for Services to Enterprise Culture in 2012. He also wrote a book called What's Your Bright Idea? In 2015, Tim co-founded the bespoke digital marketing agency Marketing Runners Ltd.
Since then, the busy entrepreneur has become a motivational speaker for large corporations. He returned to The Apprentice last year – on the other side of the table. With Lord Sugar's assistant Claude Littner unable to join series 16 due to a leg injury, Tim replaced him. Both Claude and Tim are set to return to the show this year.
