Tony Robinson OBE, The Micro Business Champion | Enterprise Nation

Tony, as the Micro Business Champion, is booked to speak at UK conferences with his one hour show - 'Let's Get Enterprising - The Micro Myths and Magic Show'. The show is for prospective and existing business owners and those who support or wish to engage with them. It demonstrates why the 'Micro Business Way' to success and happiness works better for more people in the UK than the 'American Way'. 

Tony has campaigned on behalf of micro business owners for over 20 years and the most well known of these campaigns is #PayIn30Days. Tony is an author of 7 books - fiction and non-fiction. His most well known is the satire 'Freedom from Bosses Forever' and his latest is the psychological thriller 'Loose Cannon'. 

Clare Francis and Tony Robinson OBE founded The Business Advisory Bureau Limited in 1986. With their amazing team and associates, 'BAB'  were the leading specialists in helping large organisations, including Governments, engage with and market products and services to independent business owners. In April 2018, Tony and Clare wound up The Business Advisory Bureau Limited to concentrate on their respective charitable, family and business interests. 

Tony is the co-founder of Enterprise Rockers CIC with Tina Boden. Founded in January 2012 with the aim of making life better for micro business owners, Tina and Tony organise, fund and co-host the #MicroBizMatters movement and the annual #MicroBizMatters Day, supported by Enterprise Nation and all UK small and micro business membership organisations. 

Tony has founded a number of organisations. The best known, founded in 1996, is the government recognised enterprise skills body, the SFEDI Group (which includes the Institute of Enterprise and Entrepreneurs). He remains a co-owner. Tony is proud to be a Director of the enterprise agency, Yorkshire in Business Limited, and Patron of the John Cracknell Youth Enterprise Bank. Tony is the proud recipient of 2 Lifetime Achievement Awards for Enterprise.

&lt;p&gt;I started my career in journalism and was lucky that the content marketing revolution meant my particular skills - storytelling, audience engagement, creative idea generation&amp;nbsp;and so on - were soon in demand in the business world.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From drawing out the heart of a brand&amp;#39;s message to creating powerful headlines and calls to action that drive... well, action... I help businesses stand back and ask the question, &amp;quot;So what?&amp;quot; It&amp;#39;s what separates indulgent copy from copy that hits the mark with target customers / clients and actually achieves a business goal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Quality and precision are central to everything I do and&amp;nbsp;I have brought together a team of skilled professionals who have the same&amp;nbsp;level of commitment to doing their jobs to the best of their ability every day.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m also passionate about flexible working and wellbeing in the workplace and am 100% committed to making sure that I do everything in my power to ensure that Rin Hamburgh &amp;amp; Co is a great company to work for as well as with.&lt;/p&gt;
