Philip Hampton

Sir Philip Roy Hampton is the chairman of J Sainsbury plc, parent company of the Sainsbury's chain of supermarkets in the United Kingdom.

Hampton was appointed to the Sainsbury's board 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 had regained some market share and in June 2006 reported its highest sales increase in four years.

Prior to joining Sainsbury's Hampton worked for British Steel, British Gas, BT and Lloyds TSB. He was knighted in the New Year Honours 2007.

In the 2004 Budget Philip Hampton was asked to lead a review of regulatory inspection and enforcement. This review produced the Hampton Report, which led to the Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Act 2008.
