Sir Howard Davies has been one of our most notable public servants; stints as the deputy governor of the Bank of England, and director of the London School of Economics, chairmanships of, among other bodies, the UK Airports Commission, the London Library and the Financial Services Authority, and an involvement with the Tate as a trustee.… He was also once a judge on the Booker Prize panel.
As well as this, Sir Howard has held the highest office in the private sector, most recently as chairman of NatWest. Over lunch, he will share his thoughts on a life that has featured mixing with many of the great and the good, beginning at the Foreign Office followed by secondment to the Treasury and the role of principal for monetary policy for two years when Nigel Lawson was Chancellor of the Exchequer.
In conversation at the table will be a chance to hear Sir Howard’s thoughts on the current economic landscape, seen through a prism of five decades at the centre of events that have shaped the country and economy. Added to this will be first-hand views of the individuals and events that have shaped our lives. In all, a unique perspective shaped by roles that offered a central view of national and international events, as they have unfolded since the 1980s.
