Jenny B. Campbell

Jenny B Campbell (born October 1961) founded YourCash Europe Ltd and has received numerus business and industry awards for entrepreneurship.

In 2017 it was announced that she would become a Dragon on season 15 of the UK's Dragons' Den.

Campbell founded YourCash, an independent automated teller machine (ATM) provider with operations in the UK, Netherlands, Belgium and Ireland.‹

Before buying YourCash from RBS via a management buy-out in 2010, Campbell previously worked 32 years with the Royal Bank of Scotland Group in various roles, including sales, operational, change, risk and management. In 2016, Campbell sold the business.

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.

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.

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. 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, 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

In 2013, Campbell led a successful secondary buy out and the management team acquired 100% of the business through a refinancing agreement. Campbell became YourCash’s primary stakeholder.

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. YourCash currently operates 5000 ATMs for retail and corporate markets and has a turnover of almost £30m.
