Consular career Campbell joined the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in 1982 and started in the North America Department.

From 1988 he worked at the embassy in Dhaka and from 1992 at the embassy in Jakarta.

Campbell served as the Ambassador to Nicaragua from 2011 to 2015. Because the UK did not have an embassy in Nicaragua, the post was non-residential and Campbell worked from San José.

On 13 October 2020, he was recognised as British Ambassador to Ecuador. Campbell served as ambassador until August 2025, with Libby Green being announced as his successor.

Personal life Campbell met his wife Sharon while working at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and they married in 1989.
