guess who's funding the "Covid Recovery Group"...Step forward Luke Johnson, who failed to spot a £94m blackhole in Patisserie Valerie's accounts...Like most adherents of the fallacious "Great Barrington Declaration", Luke Johnson doesn't seem to care if people with pre-existing conditions and the over 65s live or die. All that matters is pizzas.
Phew.. did you get all those businesses? And there are even more.. but for now, let's stick with American Port Services...Luke Oliver Johnson (born 2 February 1962), is a British entrepreneur. He is a former chairman of the Pizza Express chain, the Royal Society of Arts and Channel 4. He writes a weekly column for The Sunday Times. Johnson calls himself a "projector", in line with the 17th century term for a man involved in many different businesses.[2] He is the part owner and chairman of Gail's Artisan Bakery and Feng Sushi among other businesses. He is a former owner of The Ivy, Le Caprice and J Sheekey restaurants and a former part owner of Giraffe Restaurants...
Whilst at university Johnson together with fellow student Hugh Osmond (later founder of Punch Taverns) interviewed Richard Branson on his houseboat in London for the student newspaper. This gave the pair the inspiration to go into business and they began running the Era nightclub in Oxford. By the time of graduation, he and Osmond were running businesses from software to clubs.
He initially studied medicine but, like Hugh Osmond, only completed the first part of the course, graduating from Oxford University with a BA in Physiological Sciences in 1983. He began his career as a media analyst at stockbroker Grieveson Grant (subsequently Kleinwort Benson Securities).

Associated British Ports Holdings Plc History http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company- ... c-history/Luke Johnson, 37, is the founder of an investment trust, Intrinsic Value, and chairman of Belgo Group - the business behind high-profile London restaurants such as The Ivy, Le Caprice and the Belgo chain.
Sometimes called a "playboy millionaire", he began investing in public and private companies in 1989 after several years working as a stockbroking analyst at Kleinwort Benson. Successes to date include Topps Tiles, the UK's leading tile retailer (the shares have risen from 50p to over 250p since the company went public three years ago) and American Port Services. The London-listed group was sold for £100m to Associated British Ports in June 1998, showing a return of more than 250% on its 1995 issue price.
Sorry about the wall of text.. but this needs to be documented:Associated British Ports Holdings Plc (ABPH) is the largest operator of seaports in the United Kingdom. The company also owns docks in the United States and provides port-related services, such as stevedoring and distribution. Created from the privatization of the former British Transport Docks Board in 1983, the company's core Associated British Ports subsidiary owns 23 ports covering much of the English and Welsh coastlines, including some of the country's most important ports, such as Southampton, Swansea, Grimsby, Cardiff, and Hull. Other docks held by the company include Barry, Ayr, Barrow, Immingham, Newport, Plymouth, Colchester, Talbot, and Whitby. Altogether, ABP's ports process more than 127 million tons of cargo per year.
The company's purchase of American Port Services (Amports), a British-owned but U.S.-based business, gave it seaport operations in California, Delaware, Georgia, and Florida. ABPH also runs a property investment and development arm, Grosvenor Waterside Group, which focuses on redevelopment efforts of the company's unused port-side properties. Other companies under the ABPH umbrella include Northern Cargo Services, a stevedoring company operating in the Port of Hull, which was acquired in 2000; Exxtor Shipping Services, acquired in 1998, based in Immingham; and Amports UK, formed from the 2000 acquisition of the Berkeley Group. ABPH also owns shares in joint ventures, including Southampton Container Terminals (49 percent) with P&O Ports; and Tilbury Container Services, jointly owned by ABP, P&O Ports, and Forth Ports. The company, which trades on the London Stock Exchange, is led by CEO Bo Lerenius. ABPH has been restructuring in order to focus on its core ports and port services operations. This has led to the sell-off of a number of operations in 2000 and 2001, including its Red Funnel ferry service and the aviation management division of Amports, as well as plans to sell off a large part of its £650 million property portfolio.
