The DVSA has appointed a new CE to replace Loveday Ryder in January, Beverley Warmington.
Formerly at the department for work and pensions where she was an area director managing 12,000 staff, Warmington joins the enforcement agency as it battles a driving test backlog.
DVSA Chair, Nick Bitel, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Beverley to DVSA as she takes up the role of chief executive in January.
“Her operational and transformational experience will be a huge asset across DVSA’s driver, vehicle and enforcement services, especially as we continue our urgent work to help learners by reducing driving test waiting times.”
Permanent Secretary at the department for transport, Jo Shanmugalingam, said: “As the Secretary of State said at the recent Transport Select Committee, we would like to thank Loveday Ryder for her five years leading DVSA, particularly through the Covid period.
“We wish her the best for the future.”
Warmington will join the DVSA on 5 January when she will take over from Ryder who has led the agency since January 2021.
