DVLA announces new chief executive
Morley is currently chief executive of The National Archives where his responsibilities include delivering services to the public on site at Kew as well as online to over 20 million customers. He was responsible for refreshing the organisation’s digital strategy, as well as for launching new online products like the 1911 census.
His appointment at the DVLA is effective from November, with the interim chief executive, Malcolm Dawson, continuing to cover the role until then.
Department for Transport Permanent Secretary Philip Rutnam said: ‘I am very pleased to welcome Oliver Morley to the department. He brings a wealth of experience to this crucial role.’
He added: ‘I am really grateful to Malcolm for the contribution he has made since joining DVLA in May and for his continued strong leadership and direction during this time of significant change for the agency.’
