New Social Security Director 29 October 2003 The Department of Health and Social Security is pleased to announce the
appointment of its new Director of Social Security, Ken Crellin. Ken, aged 49,
will officially take up his new post on 1st December.
For the last 8 years Ken has been employed as the Head of Operations within
Government’s Personnel Office, having been
promoted in 1996 from a post within the DHSS where he was Operations Manager in
the Department’s National Insurance Contributions Section. Ken was employed in
the Department’s Inspectorate from 1979 to 1984, before gaining promotion to
Head of the Inspectors Legal Group, following which he took over as Head of the
National Insurance Contributions Section prior to his promotion to the Personnel
Office.
On accepting the offer of his new post Ken said
“I am delighted to be given this opportunity to lead the Division of the
Department in which I have previously served for 17 years in a number of posts.
Following on from the previous Director (George Hull) will be a considerable
challenge but one that I’m looking forward to with enthusiasm, particularly in
the knowledge that he has left in place a strong legacy and a very effective
team which will be vital to support me, particularly in the early days of my
appointment”.
The Department’s Chief Executive, David Killip, added
“I warmly welcome Ken back to the Department. I’m sure he will prove to be a
key appointment within the Senior Management Team as Director of Social
Security. It has been gratifying to hear such positive feedback concerning his
appointment from staff members in his Division. For a short time earlier in our
careers we were colleagues in the Personnel Office and it will be a pleasure to
renew our working collaboration”. More stories >>>
