Tim Smit CBE

Tim Smit is Chief Executive and co-founder of the Eden Project, near St Austell in Cornwall. He is also on the board of the Prince's Trust Business division. In 2000 he was given the 'Outstanding Contribution to Tourism in the UK Award' by the English Tourism Council.

                                           Tim's book Eden tells the inspiring story of how the Eden Project was

                                           conceived and built, turning an old clay pit into "a vast complex of soap

                                           bubble-shaped greenhouses, which interpret and explain our

                                           dependence upon the plant kingdom." By "demanding the impossible",

                                           his team delivered their vision through a combination of commitment

                                           and total clarity of purpose.

                                           By 17th March 2002, the first anniversary of its opening, the Eden

                                           Project had attracted 1.9 million visitors.

                                           Find out more about this venture of unparalleled ambition and

                                           imagination by visiting the website www.edenproject.com.
