Keeper’s festive message

As 2025 draws to a close, it offers time to reflect on what we have delivered this year as well as to look ahead. Working together with colleagues, customers, partners and stakeholders throughout 2025, has helped us move forward towards our corporate objectives.

Thank you again for all your support in 2025 and I would like to extend our very best wishes for the festive period to you and your loved ones.

Shape our next Corporate Plan – your voice matters

We still want your views on our next Corporate Plan (2027-2032). The current plan has focused on clearing older casework and embedding sustainable ways to process new work quickly, accurately and efficiently. The next plan is our chance to set an ambitious new strategic direction and be clear on the activities that will get us there.

Send us your thoughts by 18th December to corporate.plan@ros.gov.uk.
