This is to inform members that, following an open and fair competition conducted in line with the Civil Service Commission’s Recruitment Principles, Rebecca Godfrey has been appointed as Chief Executive of the Welsh Revenue Authority (WRA).

Rebecca Godfrey has been serving as the WRA’s Interim Chief Executive, following Dyfed Alsop’s departure in April. Prior to that, Rebecca was the Chief Operating Officer at the WRA. She brings significant experience of operational leadership and delivery within the WRA.

I would also like to place on record my thanks to Dyfed Alsop for his seven years of leadership as Chief Executive, establishing and growing Wales’s tax authority.
