He worked for British Aerospace (now BAE Systems) from 1981 to 2000. From 2001 to 2002 he was CEO of W S Atkins, pushing the share price from 750p to 50p, while taking a golden goodbye.

Controversy

On 10 May 2014, The Independent newspaper published a report detailing the circumstances surrounding the demise of the company Corporate Jet Services. This company collapsed in 2007, owing its main creditor, HBOS, about £100m. Robin Southwell said via his lawyers that he "was appointed by HBOS to assist a company in difficulty and was only ever a non-executive director that acted on the bank's instructions".
