Founder & Chairman
JOE LEWIS
Joe Lewis is well known as a successful private
investor, currency trader and noted art collector. He is
routinely ranked in the Forbes 400, The Sunday Times
Rich List and ArtNews magazine’s rankings of the
world’s most accomplished.
Lesser known, Joe has also quietly built an expansive
portfolio of companies around the world over the
last four decades. He has backed people, ideas and
companies by providing a unique combination of
capital, strategic leadership and a passion for results
which has enabled Joe and his investments to achieve
significant business success in a wide range of
sectors. Joe is an entrepreneur and well-documented
builder of businesses.
• Tavistock Group, a 35-year-old investment
organization founded by Joe, has investments
in more than 200 companies worldwide in a
variety of industries including Sports & Media,
Restaurants, Life Sciences, Finance, Energy,
Consumer Products and Retail as well as Real
Estate that includes Resort Properties and Private
Clubs.
• Joe is actively involved in all of his investments
and businesses. A team of 18 CEOs work
directly with him and manage his companies
and investments, and all of these executives
have worked with him for many years (averaging
10+ years). Joe’s investment success has
been predicated by his ability to improve the
operational and financial performance of the
companies he has backed to create significant
additional value. Joe has built a reputation as a
savvy investor and operator who has disdain for
bureaucracy, waste and poor customer service
levels.
• Joe is also credited with being the visionary
force behind the Lake Nona ‘Medical City’
development in Orlando, Florida. The 7,000-acre
master planned development, which includes
a new medical school, two new hospitals and
three renowned bio life science research centers,
came to fruition over the last six years in part
through Joe’s real estate development company
and charitable foundation. Over the last 36
months, 4,000 jobs and more than $2 billion
of active construction have resulted from this
effort at Lake Nona. Overall development has
been cited to spur more than $6 billion in annual
economic activity for the state of Florida as it
creates 30,000 jobs over the next decade. The
community recently hosted its first Lake Nona
Impact Forum gathering of 250 leaders from
all business segments and sectors, committed
to collaborating within Lake Nona to provide
innovative education and healthcare solutions
10
that can be used there and replicated around the
globe.
• John Chambers, Cisco’s CEO, just awarded Lake
Nona his company’s highest honor, Iconic Cisco
Smart+Connected Community. Lake Nona joins
the ranks of eight other cities, including London,
Barcelona and Toronto, and is now positioned
to receive significant technology investment and
experimentation from Cisco with the aim to
make Lake Nona a premier destination to work,
live, educate and play.
• When a major USA newspaper named Joe ‘Man
of the Year’ for his contributions toward the
creation of Lake Nona Medical City, citing “…
Florida is lucky to have Joe Lewis,” former Florida
Governor Jeb Bush acknowledged that in the
state and communities where Joe has business
interests, they have “… benefited greatly from
this international business leader.”
• Joe has a passion for the hospitality and leisure
industries and has had investments in many
sporting organizations including Glasgow
Rangers, AEK Athens, Slavia Prague, FC Basel,
Vicenza, and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.
• Joe and his partner Daniel Levy are behind the
historic and resurgent top London team of
Tottenham Hotspur. The club is currently planning
and designing a new 60,000-seat stadium facility
to support Tottenham Hotspur, which will in
turn bring about significant gentrification and
urban renewal to the surrounding area in East
London. This development comes on the heels of
the team’s recent completion of a 77-acre team
training, practice and support compound which
has garnered accolades for its state-of-the-art
design and world-class facilities.
• Since the early 1980s, Joe has also been a
financial backer of numerous restaurant and
hospitality businesses in Central Florida, the
Caribbean and South America. Joe has long
provided capital and an experienced hand to
talented entrepreneurs who have benefited from
his involvement and support.
• In 2003, Joe established Tavistock Restaurant
Group (“TRG”), which is committed to building
long-term value across a broad range of
restaurant investments through the acquisition
of new concepts and the expansion of existing
concepts.
• Since its inception, TRG has achieved EBITDA
growth of 833%, unit growth of 550%, and
employee growth of 546% and it has expanded
to 16 concepts serving customers across the
spectrum from fast casual to upscale. The
Founder & Chairman(continued)
JOE LEWIS
11
Group’s Freebirds World Burrito is one of the
fastest growing fast casual concepts in the US
and its flagship Abe & Louie’s chophouse is
Boston’s #1 restaurant (sales) and a perennial
market favorite.
• Tavistock Restaurant Group serves 1.5 million
guests per month and delivering more than 18
million meals per year.
• Joe is also the biggest shareholder of Mitchells &
Butlers plc, the UK’s largest restaurant company
with 1,700 pubs and restaurants serving more
than 450 millions drinks per year and more than
180 million meals.
• In addition, Joe also owns and operates the
award-winning luxury St. Regis Hotel and
Residences in Atlanta, Georgia and three
extraordinary residential resort communities,
Isleworth Golf & Country Club and Lake Nona
Golf & Country Club in Orlando, Florida and
Albany Golf & Beach Club in The Bahamas on
New Providence Island, just south of Lyford Cay.
• These communities are home to top athletes
across professional sports and chief executives
spanning a wide range of businesses and sectors
who all choose these communities for their
quality, attention to detail, beauty, amenities,
services and security.
• Ever the sportsman, Joe has allowed his
colleagues to stage the annual Tavistock Cup
golf tournament – known as the World Golf
& Country Club Championship – each March
for the last nine years. Bringing together the
very best in the game, this invitation-only, PGA
TOUR-sanctioned event, which is broadcast in
100 countries and has yielded millions of dollars
for select charities like The First Tee and M.D.
Anderson Cancer Center. The 2013 Tavistock
Cup will feature the best touring professionals
who are members of Isleworth, Lake Nona,
Albany, Oak Tree, Primland and Queenwood in
the UK.
• Joe has long invested in energy and today is the
driving force behind BayCorp and Pampa Energia
in South America. The Group has also long been
a backer of American Renewables.
• The Lewis Collection is recognized as one of the
top art collections in the world and is known

Bacon, Andrew Wyth and Pablo Picasso.

With over 160 million fans worldwide, the Club

all owners to ensure the long-term financial stability
of clubs. He was also responsible for successfully
lobbying for a rule change regarding the number of
substitutions permitted, which has now been adopted
across the League and serves to encourage the
progress and inclusion of young players.
Earlier this year, the Club moved to its new training
base set on 77 acres of greenbelt land. Widely
acclaimed as the best facility of its kind in the world,
Daniel directed the planning and construction of the
facility for the past seven years and is now focusing
his time and energies on a new increased capacity,
iconic stadium for the Club which will kick-start the
regeneration of a priority London borough and be a
new landmark in the capital city.
It was Daniel’s inspiration, vision and determination
to create the best and most far-reaching charitable
football-in-the-community program in Europe. Today,
the Club houses the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation
which employs over 200 staff and volunteers and
delivers community programs in the most needed
areas in the fields of crime diversion, educational
attainment, social cohesion and health. The Foundation
works across four London boroughs and has delivered
1.7 million sporting opportunities in just three
years through award-winning projects. It is directly
responsible for changing lives of local people and those
it assists in other territories around the world, and
serves as a major delivery partner for Special Olympics.
Daniel has been a partner with Joe Lewis for nearly
30 years and has a wealth of experience in corporate
finance and retail management, having set up and run
businesses in the fashion, footwear and food sectors
and operated in Europe, the Far East and United States.
