Minister Guy Opperman, responsible for Roads and Local Transport in the Department for Transport, receives advice from the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (ACOBA)
In the latter half of 2024 and 2025, Mr. Opperman sought advice from the Committee regarding several potential job opportunities. Here's a breakdown of the appointments he secured and the conditions imposed, as outlined in letters sent by the Committee.
In November 2024, Mr. Opperman sought the Committee's advice about taking up a role with Smart Pension Limited. The Committee's consideration and the conditions imposed on his appointment were detailed in a letter sent that same month. An accessible version of this letter is available to the public. However, there is currently no information available about why Mr. Opperman accepted this position or when it was officially taken in 2024.
Fast forward to August 2025, Mr. Opperman sought the Committee's advice about three additional roles: Adnate Capital Management LLC, The General Organisation for Social Insurance (GOSI), and Sustainable Times. The letters containing the Committee's considerations and the conditions imposed on these appointments were all sent in August 2025.
The appointment with Adnate Capital Management LLC took place in September 2025, and an accessible version of the related letter is available. Mr. Opperman also secured a position with Sustainable Times that same month, and an accessible version of the letter regarding his appointment with Sustainable Times is available. The appointment with GOSI also occurred in September 2025, and an accessible version of the letter regarding his appointment with GOSI is available as well.
Interestingly, both the appointment with Adnate Capital Management LLC and the appointment with GOSI were scheduled for September 2025, despite the Committee's considerations and conditions being sent in August.
Finally, the appointment with Smart Pension Limited took place later that month. An accessible version of the letter regarding Mr. Opperman's appointment with Smart Pension Limited is available for public viewing.
This timeline provides a clear picture of Mr. Opperman's professional endeavours and the role the Committee played in advising him on these opportunities.
