As the new Trade Commissioner for Africa, John will generate business opportunities for the UK while contributing to the growth of sustainable, resilient, and productive economies across the African continent.

Prior to joining the Department for International Trade, John held a variety of commercial, general management and executive roles in the UK and overseas, most recently as Group Chief Executive at Kent HoldCo Limited and as Chief Executive & Accounting Officer of the UK Hydrographic Office (a MOD Trading Fund). He is also a Lay Trustee of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapy.

International Trade Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan said:

“I am delighted to announce the appointment of John Humphrey as the new Trade Commissioner for Africa, joining our international network of HMTCs across the globe.

“John will be an asset to DIT in Africa; championing Global Britain and helping UK businesses to succeed in new markets, from Tunisia to Tanzania, or Senegal to South Africa.” 

With a growing population and economy worth $2.4 trillion, a thriving trade and investment relationship between the UK and Africa presents huge opportunities across a variety of sectors including tech, transport, clean energy, sustainable infrastructure, and Agri-Tech. 

HM Trade Commissioner for Africa, John Humphrey, said:

“It is a great honour and hugely exciting to be appointed as Her Majesty’s Trade Commissioner (HMTC) for Africa. Africa is a diverse, vibrant, innovative, and abundant continent that is home to over 1.3 billion, mainly young, people and accounts for 20% of the world’s land mass.

“As someone who spent my most memorable childhood years in Africa, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to continue the Department for International Trade’s vital work enabling British businesses and investors to discover this remarkable continent and to generate long-term, mutually prosperous relationships.”

Department for International Trade Country Director in Nigeria, Chim Chalemera said:

“It is fantastic to have John join the DIT team. Nigeria is a priority market for DIT in Africa and having lived in Nigeria before, we know John will already be familiar with the diverse opportunities that Nigeria has to offer to UK businesses and we really look forward to welcoming him back for visits to Africa’s economic powerhouse.

“We are particularly excited to showcase our diversification efforts away from oil & gas into key sectors such as creatives and tech where Nigeria is a leader in the continent.”
