Robert McIntyre

Spear's Review

Oxford-educated Robert McIntyre started his career in merchant and private banking at Leopold Joseph. He joined Barclays Private Bank in his thirties, serving as a director between 1997 and 2007 before being promoted to the position of managing director – a post he has held for 17 years. 

After more than two decades at the firm, McIntyre can now proudly call himself the longest-serving managing director at Barclays’ UK private bank. His arsenal of experience in scrutinising services and products equips him to fully advise private clients. 

The senior banker has been a constant to clients, providing the gamut of banking and investment services, often over a decades-long duration. ‘My clients have been with me for a very long time. If I couldn’t deliver, they would have found me out by now,’ he said. 'Priority order is, always: client first, bank second, adviser/banker third. If I am competent, it is because the clients have made me so.’
