Biography

Jeremy Mark Pocklington is a British civil servant who has served as Permanent Secretary of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero since February 2023. He served as Permanent Secretary of the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) from March 2020 (when it was the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG)) to February 2023. He was formerly Director General for Housing and Planning at the MHCLG, having served in that role from August 2018 until his appointment as Permanent Secretary at the MHCLG.

Career

Pocklington began his civil service career in 1997 when he joined HM Treasury, where over a number of years he was responsible for financial regulation, tax policy and fiscal policy, and, at one point, worked as an assistant private secretary to two Chief Secretaries to the Treasury. He was head of property tax from 2004 until 2006, when he became deputy director responsible for corporate finance and public-private partnerships, a position he remained in until 2009. In 2009 Pocklington joined the Cabinet Office as the Director of the National Economic Council secretariat. In 2010 he became director of the Economic and Domestic Affairs Secretariat.

In 2012, Pocklington was appointed as the director of the Enterprise and Growth Unit at HM Treasury, responsible for policy on growth, business, infrastructure and advising on public spending for a number of government departments. In 2015, Pocklington was appointed as Director General of the Markets and Infrastructure Group at the Department for Energy and Climate Change before being appointed as Director General for Energy and Security at the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.

In 2018, Pocklington became Director General for Housing and Planning at the MHCLG.

Pocklington was appointed Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) in the 2020 New Year Honours for public service.

On 30 March 2020, the then Cabinet Secretary, Sir Mark Sedwill, with the approval of the prime minister, approved the appointment of Pocklington as the new Permanent Secretary to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government following a brief period as acting Permanent Secretary following the resignation of Dame Melanie Dawes. When the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government became the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities in 2021, Pocklington became Permanent Secretary to the new department.

In February 2023, he became Permanent Secretary of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
