Who’s the most inspiring entrepreneur you’ve heard this week?
November 19th, 2008 by alistairI’ve been inspired by a wide variety of fantastic entrepreneurs at each event I’ve been to so far this week. From committed community based social entrepreneurs like Chrissey Townsend, founder of the Teviot Action Group, to energetic dynamic young entrepreneurs Sally Broom of YourSafePlanet and Nathaniel Peat of The Safety Box and , to brilliant innovators such as Celia Gates of Doctor Cook, and famous names like James Caan and Peter Jones.
I’d be interested to hear who has inspired you the most this week?

Obviously not a lot of inspiration going on….
I’m going to nominate Tim Campbell and Carl Hopkins for being awesomely inspiring.

Yesterday I was blown away by the fantastic Joe Craig(Author of the Jimmy Coates Series), who inspired Ackworth School pupils about how to be enterprising from a creative passion.

For me, it has to be Michelle Mone. She spoke at the Business Boutique event in Tyneside and she blew me (and the rest of the audience)away. She gave a really honest account of her life, from growing up in a tough part of Scotland to running a multi million pound company. Incredibly inspiring, touching and hilarious all at the same time! I think that after just a 30 minute speech, we all felt we’d known her for years!

Levi Roots was fantatsic at Skills London on Friday his personality really shone through and the kids in the audience were genuinley inspired by his story. He’s an accesible role model and it’s easy to underestimate just how succesful he has been!
