Veteran Department for Work and Pensions IT head John Priest has been awarded a CBE in the New Year's Honours list.

Priest is deputy strategic sourcing director for corporate IT at the DWP, and was nominated in recognition of his public and voluntary service.

Both his IT contribution within the DWP and his efforts in cross-government work were noted.

"I see this as recognition of the work done by those within the public sector commercial community," Priest said.
