TOP entrepreneurs including the first winner of TV’s The Apprentice will be offering advice and help at Islington Enterprise Fair on March 18.

Tim Campbell, who triumphed on the BBC show, will give a keynote speech at the fair, which is organised by Islington Council together with The Bright Ideas Trust – the ­business support service founded by Tim – and Capital Enterprise.

Islington Enterprise Fair, which is aimed at people starting a business as well as established owners, offers the chance for people to meet successful ­local and national entrepreneurs and is the first of its kind in London. Also appearing is Nick Jenkins, founder of online cards business Moonpig.com, who is taking part in a question- and-answer session.

The Enterprise Fair is free to Islington businesses and will also feature workshops on key business skills, networking opportunities, and the chance to find out more about support from business agencies and the council.

Islington Enterprise Fair is being held at the newly refurbished Islington Assembly Hall, next to the Town Hall in Upper Street, on 18 March from 9am-4pm.
