Oliver Robbins, CB (born 20 April 1975) is a senior British civil servant who served in several roles and is now Permanent Secretary of the Department for Exiting the European Union.
Robbins was born 20 April 1975. He was educated at Colfe's School, an independent school in Lee, London. He studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at Hertford College, Oxford. He graduated from the University of Oxford with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1996.
Robbins joined HM Treasury in 1996 on graduation, serving as Head of Corporate and Private Finance from 2003-2006, and then briefly as Head of Defence, Diplomacy and Intelligence finance.
Robbins was appointed as Principal Private Secretary to the Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street in 2006, replacing Ivan Rogers for the last part of Tony Blair's administration and the start of Gordon Brown's. When Brown re-set the Prime Minister's Office organisation to be more like its pre-1997 form, Robbins briefly served as Director of the Office before leaving Number 10 per se in 2007 to become the Director of Intelligence and Security — later, Director of Intelligence, Security and Resilience — in the Cabinet Office. In 2010, David Cameron's incoming administration re-organised the UK's national security apparatus, and Robbins post was re-formulated as the Deputy National Security Advisor responsible for Intelligence, Security and Resilience.
