The Department for Transport (DfT) has published a revised version of its organisation chart reflecting recent changes, including the departure of Gareth Llewelyn as DVSA CEO, and his replacement by Loveday Rider.
In total, the chart details the reporting lines, roles and post-holders’ names for the 278 senior staff in the ministerial department.
The department, supported by 24 agencies and public bodies, employs 18,245 staff and 354 non-payroll staff, who work in locations across the country.
The poster-sized document sets out the structure of the DfT – from its controlling board of 18 people, comprising six politicians, seven senior civil servants, plus five non-executive members.
It sets out the DfT’s six ‘groups’, plus its legal department, giving the posts and names of the relevant civil servants, representing all areas of UK transport policy (except those powers devolved to Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales).
