Mark Dixon height - How tall is Mark Dixon?

Dixon owns the Chateau de Berne vineyard in Provence which includes a five-star hotel and restaurant. The vineyard produces around 5 million bottles of wine a year, making it the second-largest producer in Provence. In 2017, Dixon bought the 150-acre Kingscote Estate in East Grinstead, West Sussex to expand production to the United Kingdom.

Relocating to Brussels, Belgium, he set up an apartment rental business. While sitting in a cafe, he regularly noticed how local business people were conducting meetings around the small tables of local coffee shops. He started Regus, an office space business, in 1989. By mid-2001 the business was worth £2bn, with Dixon's 60 percent stake making him a billionaire. However, after the failure of the dot.com boom, Dixon's stake fell and he was valued at less than £80m. In 2002, 58% of the UK arm of the business was sold to UK private equity firm Alchemy Partners. Regus bought the stake back three years later. Dixon has since rebuilt the business and expanded internationally. The company now has a presence in over 100 countries.

Returning to Essex, he invested £600 in a burger van, based on London's North Circular road. From profits he then bought seven other vans, but found difficulty in obtaining good and regular bun supply. Travelling between meetings on either a bicycle or in one of his vans, he set up The Bread Roll Company to supply his own and other mobile fast food vendors, which he sold in 1988 for £800,000.

Dixon married journalist Trudi Groves in 1988. After selling his baking business, they moved to Belgium, but later returned to the UK and lived in Surrey, with their two children. Dixon has three children from prior relationships. In late 2003, the family moved to Connecticut, US, so Dixon could improve the US business performance of Regus. In 2005, Dixon divorced Trudi in a £28.7m settlement. Dixon is a resident of Monaco for tax reasons. He voluntarily pays tax in the United Kingdom.
