John was appointed Group Chief Executive of Barclays Bank plc in September 2004, having been Deputy Chief Executive from October 2003.  Prior to this, he was Finance Director.  John joined the Group Executive Committee in September 1996 and was appointed an Executive Director of the Group in June 1998. John was Chief Executive, Retail Financial Services, from April 1998 to October 2000; Chairman of the Asset Management Division between 1995 and 1998.  Deputy Chief Executive of BZW’s Equity Division between 1991 and 1994 and head of BZW’s offices in South East Asia between 1989 and 1991.  He joined the Corporate Finance Department of Barclays Merchant Bank in 1982.  He is Chairman of Business Action on Homelessness and President of the Employer’s Forum on Disability and a member of the International Advisory Panel of the Monetary Authority of Singapore.  He is a Non Executive Director of Astra Zeneca plc, Honorary President of the UK Drug Policy Commission, Treasurer and Trustee St Dunstans’s and Trustee of Thornton Smith and Plevins Young Peoples Trust. 

John has been a close supporter of Shelter for a number of years. Most recently he was a member of Shelter’s Keys to the Future Appeal Board, raising funds for Shelter’s Children’s Services to support young people across the UK affected by homelessness and bad housing. Shelter tackles the root causes of bad housing by lobbying government and local authorities for new laws and policies, and more investment, to improve the lives of homeless and badly housed people. Shelter has achieved great things in its history, but their work won’t stop until everyone in Britain can access a decent, affordable home.
