Jason Lowther

Jason is currently acting Director of Policy and Delivery for Birmingham City Council, Europe’s largest local authority. He is responsible for strategic policy, performance management, customer insight, the local strategic partnership, leadership and council development, and service improvement activities.

Jason came to BCC in 2004 after a decade at the Audit Commission in a wide variety of roles, most recently as national lead on community safety issues including developing the CPA approach to this topic. He was part of the national study team on GP prescribing and managed all “value for money” work on local public sector organisations in the East and West Midlands.

Jason trained as a statistician and economist at Warwick University, and later gained an MSc in Operational Research at Lancaster and an MBA from Nottingham University. He has become a qualified PRINCE2 practitioner.

His working life started in the Metropolitan Police with the easy job of re-arranging the traditional shift system for police officers across the capital, and the pleasant task of testing human body bags. He then worked in the banking sector with HSBC looking at customer behavioural modelling, before joining the Audit Commission.

Jason has lived in Birmingham since 1992 with his wife Sally, a primary school teacher who now home educates their four primary school aged children. They are part of a large independent church which meets in a local secondary school.

Room 101: anything that's diverting us from improving the lives of Birmingham people, sport on the TV (especially watching presenters watching sport on TV), having to throw away any book (even ones I haven't read and own two of)
