Early life

On leaving university, he joined NatWest Securities, which later merged into Deutsche Bank, and in 2001 he became Managing Director of the firm. In 2008 and 2009 he served as Senior Corporate Financial Adviser through the financial crisis.[3]

Quin first stood as a Conservative candidate in Meirionnydd Nant Conwy at the 1997 general election, gaining 3,922 (16%) of the votes cast, coming third behind the Labour and Plaid Cymru candidates. He was shortlisted as a potential Conservative Party candidate in South Suffolk, Bexhill and Battle and Fareham at different elections.[4] From 2010 to 2013, he served as the Chairman of Buckingham Conservative Association.[5]

Parliamentary career

Quin was chosen as the Conservative Party's candidate in Horsham in the 2015 general election on 12 March 2015, following the announcement that the incumbent Conservative MP, Francis Maude, would be stepping down at the general election.[4]

In July 2015, he was elected as a member of the Work and Pensions Select Committee, and held this position until October 2016. Quin also served on the Regulatory Reform Select Committee between October 2015 and November 2018,[6] and is a current member of the Selection Committee.[7] Under Theresa May, Quin was appointed a Lord Commissioner of the Treasury.[6] On 28 July 2019 he was promoted to Comptroller of the Household by Boris Johnson.[8]

Quin has consistently voted against UK membership of the EU.[9]
