This inspirational and unconventional business leader will reveal how jobs and prosperity were brought to rural Cornwall, his views on the future of business and why the world needs social enterprise.

Tim will be joined by Graham Bell, Chief Executive of Kibble, one of Scotland’s oldest social enterprises, who will draw lessons for Scottish Business and civic life.

The Masterclass will be chaired by award winning business journalist Antonia Swinson, Chief Executive of the Scottish Social Enterprise Coalition, the national collective voice for Scotland’s social enterprise movement.
