Welcoming the appointment, Transport Minister Jim Fitzpatrick said:
"I am delighted to welcome Noel Shanahan to his new role. The Agency provides vital services to millions of vehicle owners and drivers right across the country, and employs over 6,000 staff. Under Clive Bennett's leadership it has embarked on an exciting programme of change, delivering services in new and more convenient ways to its customers. I look forward to working with the new Chief Executive in driving this forward over the next few years."
Noel Shanahan added:
"I am delighted and feel very privileged to have the opportunity to lead DVLA over the coming years as it continues its transformation into an electronic modern business. In my 21/2 years at the Agency I have seen the capabilities of its staff and their determination to do the right thing for customers and stakeholders. That's why I am so excited at the opportunity to work with them and to take up the challenges ahead."
