John was born and brought up in Croydon and was educated at Marlborough and the University of Edinburgh where he read physics and economics. He qualified as a chartered accountant and as a management consultant with Price Waterhouse in London before moving on to become finance director for two medium-sized organisations. As a consultant he spent a year managing the accounts department for an oil company in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, and as a line manager he has recruited and worked with staff from many different backgrounds, genders and races.

One of the two organisations where he served as finance director was Paddington Churches Housing Association, which at that time was the fourth largest in London with around ten thousand tenancies, including several hundred in Camden. They were the first to raise several millions from the City to add to their social housing programme, which is no longer possible because mass immigration has pushed rent levels beyond what housing benefit can afford.

He joined UKIP in 2014, stood as their candidate in Southall, West London in 2015 and 2017 and in Old Bexley and Sidcup in 2021 and is now a member of the party's National Executive. He is married and has four grown-up children.

• A Landlords Guarantees Agency to give both landlords and renters greater protection and reinvigorate the private rentals sector.
• Protection for leaseholders from spiralling services charges.
