One of Britain’s most formidable entrepreneurs, Jenny Campbell, who established herself as a business and banking mogul responsible for the transformation of Hanco ATM Systems, is now paving the way for others to replicate her success. A seasoned speaker, her talks on the journey to success, qualities required to be competitive in business and extensive work in the banking sector, are invaluable to audiences. As a former Dragon on BBC’s Dragons’ Den between 2017 and 2019, Jenny’s instinct for opportunity, and wealth of business acumen saw her prolific business status expand to include a revered position in the media too. The embodiment of an inspirational woman in business, her personal story resonates with many aspiring entrepreneurs, and her insight into various lucrative sectors makes her an asset to corporate clients.
With an international reputation, Jenny is highly in demand to share her expertise, having already supported clients like HSBC, Cancer Focus Northern Ireland charity and Arch Summit in her speaking career. Leaving school aged 16, Jenny began an entry level position at NatWest whilst she studied for her banking qualifications. Determination, dedication and drive saw her achieve a number of milestones, not least passing her exams and securing the Chartered Institute of Bankers Prize. Continuing to actualise her ambitions, Jenny spent three decades in banking, where she ensured the success of the Royal Bank of Scotland and NatWest integration.
In 2006 she was tasked with the daunting transformation of RBS owned Hanco ATM Systems as the Director of Operations. From rapidly declining cash machine business, to the rebranded YourCash, now owned by Jenny, the entrepreneur saw potential, instigated a buyout and developed a market leading European ATM business. Undeniable in her success, Jenny now acts as a role model, through her position as the Vice Chair of the Prince’s Trust Enterprise Fellowship Programme.
Dedicated to harnessing talent, Jenny is also an avid supporter of Young Enterprise and New Entrepreneurs Foundation, and in 2013 she was named the Silver Award Turnaround Entrepreneur at the Great British Entrepreneur Awards. In 2014 the prestigious Vitalise award for Business Woman of the Year was given to Jenny in recognition for her decades of achievement. With such a distinctive and successful career, Jenny’s captivating speeches prove beneficial to a wide range of demographics and her down to earth and charming demeanor make her one of the most highly sought after speakers available on the circuit.
