The Government’s Building Digital UK<\/a> (BDUK) organisation, which has responsibility for delivering gigabit broadband and better mobile connectivity across the nation (e.g. the \u00a35bn Project Gigabit and Shared Rural Network schemes), have confirmed that existing boss (CEO) Dean Creamer is to be moved into a new role – his last day will be 9th January 2026.<\/p>\n

The move comes after the government announced (here<\/a>) that BDUK, which under the previous government became an executive agency in April 2022 (here<\/a>), had been integrated back into the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT); this followed an earlier review of all Arm\u2019s Length Bodies (ALBs) \u2013 also known as quangos.<\/span><\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Executive Agencies were first established in 1988 to allow the delivery of executive functions of government to be carried out separately from \u2013 but within a policy and resources framework set by \u2013 a primarily policy-focused department.<\/div>\n

Dean Creamer<\/strong> (CBE) officially became the CEO of BDUK back in September 2023. But it’s stated that he’s now been asked, and agreed, to help support the reset of HS2 (High-Speed 2) as Director General of the Major Rail Projects Group in the Department for Transport (DfT). A formal recruitment process is currently underway to find his replacement.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Ben Whitestone<\/strong>, BDUK\u2019s Interim Chief Operating Officer (COO), has agreed to be Interim CEO at BDUK until a new CEO is found. In a brief statement to suppliers, BDUK said they were “sorry to see Dean go<\/em>“, but added that he “leaves the directorate and its programmes in an excellent position, and we hope you\u2019ll join BDUK in wishing Dean every success in his new role. Please be reassured that BDUK’s commitment to the programmes and the mission remains as strong as ever<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

The latest update also mentions that Shropshire<\/strong> (England) has been removed from eligibility under the Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme<\/a> (GBVS), which follows Openreach<\/a> taking on part of the county within its Type C contracts (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
