Hampton was appointed Chairman of J Sainsbury plc on 19 July 2004 to replace Sir Peter Davis. His appointment came at a significant time for the retailer; Davis had been forced out as chairman by shareholders due to an extremely generous bonus package despite his dubious performance as chairman and previously as CEO, another shareholder revolt in February 2004 had caused the company to abandon the appointment of Sir Ian Prosser as chairman and Justin King had been appointed Chief Executive in March 2004. Hampton was described by then BBC Business Editor Jeff Randall as "a well-respected City figure" and a "safe pair of hands". Under the King/Hampton leadership Sainsbury's regained some market share and in June 2006 reported its highest sales increase in four years.
RBS Board revolts
In December 2009, the board of RBS warned their major shareholder, the British public, that they would resign unless they were permitted to pay bonuses of £1.5bn to staff in its investment arm. The matter received heavy criticism because it followed a £42bn taxpayer bailout of the banking system.
In January 2012, the board of RBS paid a bonus of £963,000 to Stephen Hester, the chief executive. The Treasury permitted the payment because they feared Mr Hester and much of the board would have quit if the payment had been vetoed by the government as the majority shareholder.
Personal life
A keen sailor, the father of two teenage sons has taken part in the ARC transatlantic yacht race. He currently lives in East Horsley, Surrey.
