Former Chancellor returns to JP Morgan

Sajid Javid, MP for Bromsgrove, has taken up a role at JP Morgan, the bank where he started his career, six months after quitting as UK chancellor.

Javid, who left as chancellor in February after refusing to sack his advisers, has joined the bank’s European advisory council.

JP Morgan said the work wouldn’t interfere with his duties as an MP.

Javid worked for JP Morgan in the 1990s in New York before moving to Deutsche Bank.

JP Morgan said: “We are delighted to welcome Sajid back to JPMorgan as a senior adviser, and we look forward to drawing upon his in-depth understanding of the business and economic environment to help shape our client strategy across Europe.”
