Jenny Campbell and Tej Lalvani are joining Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman and Peter Jones for the next series of BBC Two’s Dragon’s Den.
The successful businesswoman is a an ex-career banker turned business entrepreneur, whose biggest claim to fame is founding YourCash Europe – a business that provides cash machines to the retail sector.
Jenny kicked off her career at the young age of 16, when she dropped out of school to count cash in a bank branch.
She quickly realised her potential in the world of business and climbed up the ranks to become one of the few female bankers at the time.
In fact, at the age of 23 she earned a Chartered Institute of Bankers prize for her achievements.
But the world of banking was not enough for her and in 2006 she turned her attention to a failing cash machine business with the intention of turning it around.
Her favourite business motto is “live by corporate standards, but breathe like an entrepreneur”.
By 2010 she led a buyout of Hanco ATM Systems from the Royal Bank of Scotland and renamed the business to YourCash Europe.
Overtime she made her way through the non-management shareholders and secured full control of the business as majority shareholder.
In 2014, she was named Vitalise Business Woman of the Year, and just a year later she was admitted as a Freeman to the Guild of Entrepreneurs in the City of London.
Then in October 2016, she cashed in YourCash Europe for a staggering £50 million price.
When she is not making important business decisions, she breeds and shows Flat Coated Retrievers at champion level under her registered kennel name – Ronevorg.
In fact, she is also an accredited breed judge.
She is married and has two grown up sons.
In her spare time she also works with the Young Enterprise and Tomorrow’s People charities – organisations that aim to help young people.
Jenny also takes the time to mentor young men and women, saying that “there is no such thing as glass ceilings, only sticky floors”.
Dragon’s Den returns later this summer on BBC Two.
