Tim Martin, Source: This is money
Tim Martin is a British businessman and the founder and chairman of the pub chain Wetherspoons. [1]
Martin is a donor to the 'Vote Leave' campaign.
Brexit chats with drinkers
To make the case for Britain's withdrawal from the European Union Martin announced that he would visit drinkers in at least 100 of his Wetherspoons pubs to discuss the upcoming referendum over its membership. He told Sky News he had also printed hundreds of thousands of a special EU edition Wetherspoon News magazine, featuring arguments from both the 'leave' and 'remain' camps.
- The EU referendum is extremely important and I believe it is vital that voters are given the arguments both for and against, so they can make up their minds... [it] brings together a number of articles which I hope people will read and help them make up their mind on which way they are going to vote. I look forward to speaking with Wetherspoon customers during the next four weeks in our pubs across the UK as part of the EU referendum debate. [2]
