He is responsible for building strong relations with key people at all levels across UK Government, Parliament and other key stakeholders, and to build and maintain a pro-active representation programme.

John has also worked for a number of consultancies and has been an Adviser to a Government Minister. In this podcast, John reflects on the BBA’s views of the proposed UK national identity card. Since banks are seen as being key users of such a scheme, these views are important.
