Withdrawal from River Island
"After a long spell running hotels with Julian" his younger brother Simon Lewis "had to an extent withdrawn from day-to-day management".[1] As can be seen in his record of directorships below Simon Lewis withdrew from most of the family business ventures in September 2016. Prior to that in October 2015, he had registered the URL for a new venture Themindsmithgroup.com, a website using an email address which referenced the name of the family home in Hertfordshire.[2] The Mindsmith Group state it 'is a creative, values-based training, development and culture-change company that knows how to stand out.'[3] The website gives the following biography for Simon Lewis:
- Simon is an actively involved, hands-on business director, always in the middle of exciting new projects. Simon's area of expertise was built in global hospitality and resort marketing. His unique perspective as an owner-operator means he fully understands the challenges of a hospitality business.
- Simon uses his relaxed manner to constantly stretch clients' knowledge, understanding and skills to boost performance and achievements. He combines 25 years experience in brand values, destination marketing, management training and sales strategies associated with the travel, tourism and hospitality industries with his skills in Neuro Linguistic Programming to develop creative solutions which achieve consistently measurable and often award-winning results.
- In 2007 Simon conceived, developed and opened a multi-award winning luxury Spa business in the US. In 2013 he was instrumental in creating and implementing a new cultural identity for the 5 star Eau Palm Beach Resort in Florida. Here his work encompassed the complete values set which underpins the core identity of the business from guest touchpoint to employee engagement.[4]
