Chris Last left his role as Head of Civil Service Human Resources in May 2015.
1. Group HR Director, Kier Group
The Committee was asked to consider an application from Christopher Last, previously the Head of the Civil Service Human Resources. Mr Last was offered a position as the Group HR Director at Kier Group, a construction and property development company. In this role Mr Last will be involved in talent management, resourcing and employee relations.
The Prime Minister has accepted the Committee’s recommendation that Mr Last’s application be approved subject to the following conditions;
• He should not draw on privileged information available to him from his time in Crown Service.
• For two years from his last day of service, he should not become personally involved in lobbying the UK Government on behalf of his new employer, its parent company or its client.
The letter containing the final advice was sent in March 2015 and he took up the new role in June 2015.
