In Conversation with Tevin Tobun: How to spot what's coming before your competition does

20 Jun 2026
BBF Main Stage

Starting with a £500 overdraft and no industry experience, Tevin Tobun built a £33M global business by focusing on what established players couldn't see. He's launched companies across logistics and technology by identifying real operational problems before they became obvious, then moving quickly while others hesitated. The thread running through it all: positioning for what's coming, not reacting to what's here.

 

Key takeaways:

  • How to stay ahead of what's shifting and capitalise on opportunities across multiple markets and continents

  • Spotting what others can't see yet: How to lead innovation, not just chase it

  • Mastering the fundamentals for decades of growth: Resilient operations, empowered teams, understanding your customers core needs, and the ability to turn obstacles into advantages
