Jenny B Campbell (born October 1961) is Founder and CEO of YourCash Europe Ltd.
Detail
Campbell is Founder and CEO of YourCash,[1] an independent automated teller machine (ATM) provider with operations in the UK, Netherlands,[2] Belgium [3] and Ireland.‹
Before buying YourCash from RBS via a management buy-out in 2010,[4] Campbell previously worked 32 years with the Royal Bank of Scotland Group in various roles, including sales, operational, change, risk and management.[5]
Life and career
Born into a family of business-focused bankers, builders and printers, Campbell left school at 16, joining Natwest as a cash-counter and cashpoint filler.[6]
She attended night school to study for banking qualifications and on passing her exams, moved into a Head Office job in London. Following the RBS takeover of NatWest in 2000, Campbell was given a senior role in the operational integration of the two banks, which is recognised as one of the most complex integrations ever in the history of the financial services.[7]
YourCash Europe Ltd
In 2006 Campbell was appointed Head of Operations at Hanco ATM Systems, a subsidiary of RBS which would eventually become YourCash.
Hanco had significantly expanded in a short period of time and was making an annual loss of £7 million.[8] Similar to the role she played in the integration of NatWest and RBS, Campbell was therefore tasked with transforming the business on an operational and cultural level, and in turning it into a profitable business. This was something she undertook with determination, seeing potential in the business and knowing that she could turn it around.
The 2007 economic recession caused RBS to doubt its purchase and eventually meant they wanted to initiate the process of selling Hanco,[9] Campbell saw the opportunity to buy the company. Whilst the sale was put on hold until 2009, in mid-2010 Campbell led the first management buyout of Hanco, shortly after renaming the business YourCash [10][11]
In 2013, Campbell led a successful secondary buy out and the management team acquired 100% of the business through a refinancing agreement.[12] Campbell became YourCash’s primary stakeholder.[13]
Under Campbell’s guidance, YourCash has continued to grow and recently signed a three-year contract with VocaLink to manage an ATM network of 1,000 plus machines in the Netherlands and Belgium.[14] YourCash currently operates 5000 ATMs for retail and corporate markets and has a turnover of almost £30m.[15]
In October 2016 the business was acquired by Euronet Worldwide Inc., a global leader in processing secure electronic financial and payment transactions. Campbell remains the Chief Executive leading the business onto its next period of growth across the UK and Europe.
Personal life
Campbell was born in Hyde, Cheshire in October 1961 and attended Manchester High School for Girls until she was 16. At this point, she left school and entered the world of banking at Natwest.
Campbell is married and lives in rural Peterborough with her husband and two grown up children, one of whom is the founder of the successful pop-up restaurant, Kricket.[16] Campbell’s hobbies include championship dog breeding, showing and judging.[17] This began in her teens, establishing the Ronevorg kennel name when she was 16. She took a hiatus whilst bringing up her children and pursuing her banking career, but returned to showing in 2004.
Charity & Speaking Work
As well as running YourCash, Campbell is involved in charities and projects that support entrepreneurs and financial awareness of young people. This includes working with two charities, Young Enterprise [18] and Tomorrow’s People.[19]
In 2015, Campbell was invited to join the Guild of Entrepreneurs, which aims to foster the development of founders and new business owners whilst also bringing the opportunities of entrepreneurship to young people.
In 2016, Campbell also appeared at two Management Today Inspiring Women In Business events as a keynote speaker,[20] looking at corporate reputation, staying true to yourself and your organisation, the importance of trust and values in the finance sector.
Awards and Recognitions
Campbell is an award-winning entrepreneur and woman in business, being nominated for and winning several industry awards as well as personal achievement awards. Her first award was aged 23 when, having completed her banking qualifications, she was awarded a Chartered Institute of Bankers prize.
In 2011 and in 2013, Campbell was recognised as the Ernst & Young Regional Finalist Entrepreneur of the Year award and then winning the silver award for Turnaround Entrepreneur in the Great British Entrepreneur Awards 2013.[21]
Vitalise Business Woman of the Year
In 2014, Campbell was named the winner of the Businesswoman of the Year award from Vitalise, with key credit going to her for her introduction of the free-to-use ATM proposition and European expansion of the YourCash business.[22] The award recognizes the skills and talents of women in industry with the aim of inspiring others to reach their potential. Previous recipients of the award have included Karren Brady and Hilary Devey.
Campbell was interviewed by Chris Mann for BBC Cambridgeshire following the award ceremony.[23]
The awards chair Judy Groves said: “Jenny is a fantastic business role model and we are certain that women across the UK will be inspired by her journey, having worked her way up from a bank cashier to an entrepreneur of a successful European business.”[24]
