Tim Martin is the chairman and founder of the pub company JD Wetherspoon. He opened his first pub, Martin's Free House, in 1979 in North London. Now the chain employs 37,000 people, in 891 pubs of which 54 are hotels. Travelling from his home in Devon, Tim visits at least ten of them a week taking detailed 'call notes' on the staff, the beer, the quality of the food and even the cutlery.

In 2016 he became one of the most high-profile UK business people arguing in favour in leaving the EU. He printed half a million beer mats for his pubs, making the case for Brexit.

His success in the pub industry might be in the genes. His father, initially an aerobatic pilot, later worked for Guinness, which took the family around the globe and Tim spent his childhood in both New Zealand and Northern Ireland. He trained for the law but instead chose the career of a publican.



蒂姆-马丁是酒吧公司JD Wetherspoon的主席和创始人。他于1979年在伦敦北部开设了他的第一家酒吧--马丁自由之家。现在，该连锁店有37,000名员工，共有891家酒吧，其中54家是酒店。蒂姆从他在德文郡的家中出发，每周至少访问10家酒吧，对员工、啤酒、食物质量甚至餐具进行详细的 "呼叫记录"。

2016年，他成为支持离开欧盟的最引人注目的英国商界人士之一。他为自己的酒吧印制了50万张啤酒垫，为脱欧辩护。

他在酒吧行业的成功可能与基因有关。他的父亲最初是一名特技飞行员，后来为吉尼斯公司工作，这使他的家庭环游世界，蒂姆在新西兰和北爱尔兰度过了他的童年。他曾接受过法律培训，但却选择了公馆老板的职业。
