Career
Claire has spent many years working within public sector organisations. Before she joined the Assembly Commission, she was Chief Executive of Companies House and Registrar of Companies for England and Wales. Claire joined Companies House in April 2002 from the Patent Office, where she was responsible for Corporate Services. As Chief Executive, Claire was responsible for the overall direction and leadership of the Agency. She was accountable to DTI and its Ministers for the performance and finances of Companies House. She also had the formal statutory role of Registrar of Companies for England and Wales, and was the first woman to hold this position in over 150 years.
In the late 1990s, she spent two years on the island of St Helena and Ascension Island, where her husband, Michael Clancy, was Chief Secretary and is now Governor. She joined the civil service in 1977 and has worked in the Manpower Services Commission, the Department of Employment, the Government Office for the South West and was Chief Executive of Powys Training and Enterprise Council.
Claire took up post as Chief Executive and Clerk of the National Assembly in February 2007. The post was created to reflect the growing powers of the Assembly following the Government of Wales Act 2006. From May 2007, the Chief Executive and Clerk will lead an organisation independent of the Welsh Assembly Government. She is responsible for ensuring that the Assembly is provided with the property, staff and services that it requires.
