FROM AUGUST'S RECRUITER MAGAZINE

Julia Henderson, managing director, Drummond Read Recruitment, offers insight into a potential role for Prime Minister David Cameron, who has stepped down from his role as leading the uk following the country's vote to leave the European Union.

Now he is back in the job market, perhaps David Cameron should look no further than the heart of the London Art Market in Mayfair, just a short stroll through the park from Westminster. ‘Art Dealer’ seems like an almost perfect fit.

Admittedly David only has an A-level in Art History, but as a career politician ‘blagging it’ is in his DNA and what he lacks in qualifications he surely makes up for in terms of his connections.

The social elitism that David has been criticised for during his time as PM can certainly play to his advantage in terms of building up a base of wealthy art collectors.

Born to wealthy upper middle class parents and educated at Eton and Oxford University, David features in the Forbes List of the world most powerful people.

His connections make the perfect Little Black Book for the super wealthiest whose appetite for classic Manet portraits, abstract expressionist paintings and contemporary work like Jeff Koon’s animals continues unabated.”
