The government’s top civil servant in charge of apprenticeships, Peter Mucklow, is set to retire.
He will be replaced in the job in the Department for Education by Kate Ridley-Moy “later this year”.
Mucklow has been a civil servant working in the education and skills sector for over 25 years, mostly recently overseeing the apprenticeships reform programme and rollout of skills bootcamps.
Ridley-Moy is currently a senior civil servant at the Home Office, working as head of central crisis command. She previously worked at DfE for over 11 years as assistant director and head of participation and careers.
