Amy Holmes has been appointed as the new Public Guardian for England and Wales and Chief Executive of the Office of the Public Guardian.

The position of Public Guardian and Chief Executive of the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) will be filled by Amy Holmes, who is currently the Domestic Affairs Director in the Economic and Domestic Secretariat of the Cabinet Office, in the autumn.

She won the position in a free and open competition, and the Deputy Prime Minister has confirmed her appointment.

Second Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Justice and CEO of HM Prison & Probation Service Jo Farrar said:

“I am delighted that Amy will be joining us in the vital role of Public Guardian and CEO of the OPG. Amy will bring a wealth of experience from an impressive career in government to lead the OPG’s ambitious plans to improve and modernise its services. I look forward to welcoming Amy when she takes up the post later this year.”

Until Amy joins the organisation in the fall, Stuart Howard will remain in his position as OPG’s Interim Public Guardian. Thereafter, he will resume his duties as the organization’s Head of Legal and Information Assurance.
