CEO AND FOUNDER
Colonel Tim Collins OBE - Shareholder
One of the best-known names associated with the British Army, Tim Collins is a former SAS officer, former battalion Commander, and now author and broadcaster.
It was as the commanding officer of 1st Battalion Royal Irish that Tim gave the now famous eve-of-battle speech to his troops in Iraq on Wednesday 19th March 2003. The speech has gone down in modern military history as an inspiration to world leaders and soldiers alike
Born in Belfast in 1960, Tim joined the Royal Irish Rangers in West Berlin after university, before volunteering for the Special Air Service (SAS), later taking part in the first Gulf War as an SAS Captain, becoming operations officer of 22 SAS in 1995.
Rejoining the Royal Irish in 1997, he took command of the 1st Battalion in 2001, leading it on operations in East Tyrone and the Liberation of Iraq. His Army career also saw him serve in the Falkland Islands, Germany, Cyprus, and Gibraltar.
He was awarded the OBE in 2003 and retired from the Army in 2004 as a Colonel. He has since co-founded New Century, serving with the US Marine Corps, and Pinpoint Corporate Services, a UK company. Tim has written a best-selling memoire “Rules of Engagement” as well as writing and presenting numerous TV films.
In May 2020, Colonel Collins was a guest on the British Chamber of Commerce Singapore podcast to share more on his journey in Iraq during the Gulf War, shares his experience of ‘Leadership in Adversity’ during his time in the military and how he has translated this into civilian life and industry.
