John has been a top-level leader in UK local government for 3 decades. His last role was 12 years as the Chief Executive of Sheffield City Council. His commitment to, and deep interest in, UK towns and cities has seen him work directly with major real estate developers as well as senior UK Government representatives. His insight and reputation is invaluable to Queensberry’s growth in this sector.

As a natural optimist, John will always find the strengths in a place and build from there.
