About this listen

In this episode of ‘Fear Less, Do More’, host Gill Hunter has a future-focused conversation with Toby Bridges, CEO of NBT Group - a North East family business with a remarkable 117 year legacy.


From humble beginnings as a tram parts supplier to a cutting edge provider of supply chain management and AI driven solutions, Toby shares the journey and evolution of NBT, and why he aims to create a world where technology reduces inefficiency, giving people time back.


Highlights include:

  • How NBT has evolved over the last century, from tram parts to AI powered supply chain solutions.

  • The role of women in NBT’s legacy and why Toby sees them as early innovators.

  • Why poor data is to blame for waste, not people, and how AI can be a force for good.

  • Toby’s vision for the North East; to be a digital exemplar through devolution and collaboration.

  • How fearlessness and adaptability has helped Toby to run a legacy business.

  • How curiosity, networking and ‘just getting on with it’ are key traits for the next generation of workers.
