Interim lead non-executive director appointed
Dame Alison Nimmo DBE has been appointed to DLUHC’s departmental board as our interim lead non-executive director.
Dame Alison Nimmo DBE has been appointed to DLUHC’s departmental board as our interim lead non-executive director (NED), effective 31 March 2022.
This follows the departure of Michael Jary who has been appointed lead government NED at the Cabinet Office.
Alison, who has been a DLUHC NED since April 2021, will step into this role for 6 months to 30 September.
Permanent Secretary, Jeremy Pocklington, said:
I am delighted that Dame Alison Nimmo has accepted the role of interim lead non-executive director. She has over 30 years’ experience in regeneration and has already made a huge contribution to the department as a NED over the past year. I am very much looking forward to continuing to work with her in this new role, and to building on the fantastic work that Michael Jary led over his term in office.
DLUHC’s board provides strategic leadership for the department’s business as well as advice, support and challenge on performance and delivery. Alison will help support the Secretary of State in his role as chair of the board and will work closely with other non-executives and the executive team to support delivery of the department’s priorities.
Alison is an experienced property professional and business leader with over 30 years of delivering sustainable urban regeneration and transformation across many parts of the UK. She is an independent Non-Executive at Cadogan and Thomas White Oxford, a commissioner of The Royal Commission 1851 and a member of Imperial College London’s Property Committee.
She was made a Dame in 2019 for services to the public sector and services to the Exchequer. Read more about Alison on GOV.UK.
We will provide further details on our plans for a permanent appointment to the role of lead non-executive in due course.
