Tim Campbell

Timothy Campbell (born June 1977) is an English businessman best known as the winner of the first series of the British version of The Apprentice, a BBC TV reality show in which contestants competed to win a £100,000-a-year job working for businessman Alan Sugar. The Apprentice Campbell, a Middlesex University graduate in psychology, worked as a Senior Planner within the Strategy and Service Development (formally Marketing and Planning) directorate of London Underground before applying to appear on the show. Campbell appeared as a contestant in series 1 of The Apprentice in February 2005 and was hired by Sir Alan Sugar in the final episode, screened in May 2005. Campbell was the project manager for his team twice in the show in weeks 1 and 4. An hour-long documentary about Campbell's first year in his new job, entitled The Apprentice: Tim in the Firing Line, was aired on 19 February 2006, a few days before the launch of series 2. Campbell replaced Claude Littner as Lord Sugar's aide for the show's 16th series due to injuries sustained by Littner as a result of a cycling accident. In 2023, after Littner suffered further medical issues, Campbell also replaced him in the 17th series from episode 2 through episode 10.
