Robert Colvile is stepping down as Director of the Centre for Policy Studies after more than eight years in the top job. Another big departure in wonk world…
Colvile said today:
“It’s been the honour of my life to lead the CPS, and in particular to help see it through its 50th anniversary. I’m hugely grateful to Maurice Saatchi and Michael Spencer for, respectively, giving me the job and letting me keep it – and to all those I’ve worked with over the years. It’s with a very heavy heart that I’ve made the decision to step down, but I look forward to continuing to be involved with the CPS, and to seeing it continue to flourish.”
Colvile is staying in post while the board hunts for a successor, and will continue working with the CPS on a new policy programme on business and enterprise. Guido wishes Robert the best. Another runners and riders post is due…
