He was born in the UK and brought up and educated in Edinburgh, Scotland, where he attended George Watson's College. He joined HSBC in July 1974 after graduating in law (LLB) from the University of Edinburgh.

His appointments include postings to Hong Kong, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. From 1992-1994, Flockhart served as CEO of Thailand branch of The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. In January 1995, he became Deputy Managing Director of The Saudi British Bank (SABB).
