When he took over, Burger King had no representation in the UK but they acquired the Wimpey brand to develop a thriving business. Barry received international recognition for his performance as the US-based CEO of Burger King Corporation for five years. He has since co-founded and invested in a variety of ventures including a branded food service business, a magazine-CD publishing company, speciality coffee bars and a Latin theme restaurant that opened in Disneyland. He was also Executive in Residence at the University of Miami School of Business and is a regular on the BBC's Bottom Line business broadcast. Having retired from big business, he is now a successful author, speaker and is co-founder of the Infinite Ideas.
