John Kingman is the second permanent secretary at HM Treasury, having previously been the managing director at NM Rothschild & Sons Ltd and the CEO of UK Financial Investments (UKFI), the body set up in late 2008 to manage the Government's investments in Britain's banks.[1]
Career
Kingman played a major part in the rescue of Northern Rock in 2007 and the banking bail-outs of 2008 before being seconded to the UKFI.[2]
In December 2009 it was approved that Kingman would become the managing director of NM Rothschild & Sons Ltd in March 2010. ACOBA approved the move "subject to the automatic three-month waiting period from his last day of service and the conditions that, for 12 months from the same date, he should not advise UKFI, Royal Bank of Scotland, Lloyds Banking Group, Northern Rock or Bradford & Bingley, or be personally involved in lobbying UK Government Ministers or Crown servants, including Special Advisers, the Financial Services Authority or the Bank of England on behalf of his new employer or their clients".[3]
In September 2012 it was announced Kingman would be leaving NM Rothschild & Sons Ltd and would returning to the public sector as the second permanent secretary at HM Treasury, with responsibility for the economics functions, particularly growth, financial services, and infrastructure.[4]
