Tim Campbell and other members of The Bright Ideas Trust
I started this week with much intrepidation, I have limited knowledge about business, especially Hackney specific business.
My week as business editor for the Hackney Post started well. The business section is only a page long and I had one other person in my team and a good lead story.
I spoke to Tim Campbell of The Apprentice for a feature, as well as a young entrepreneur which his company had helped and his marketing manager. They were all really helpful and gave me some great material for my story.

Tim Campbell won The Apprentice in 2005
It’s that time of year again; I am getting swept up in the fever surrounding The Apprentice.
I sat down to watch the new series on Wednesday night and it lived up to expectations. There were already arguments and bitchy comments being thrown around. I am not usually a fan of reality TV but something about the show has me hooked.
So I was rather excited when I got to speak to Tim Campbell- first winner of a place in Sir Alan Sugar’s company- as part of my role as business editor of The Hackney Post this week.

This week I have been involved in all things online and things were going fairly smoothly till disaster struck. The website crashed, on deadline day.
Thankfully it was back up and running fairly quickly.

This week we have embarked on producing our own newspaper and website The Hackney Post, covering all things Hackney related.
My role for this week was in the features department so on Thursday last week I rolled up for a features meeting to discuss ideas and start things moving.
