Dr Lyndsey Middleton

Congratulations – and good luck – to Edinburgh Napier University 2020 PhD graduate Dr Lyndsey Middleton as she embarks on the next stage of her career.

Lyndsey has recently transferred from her Senior Assistant Statistician post at the Scottish Government into the role of Senior Statistical Officer within the Capital and Borrowing Statistics team in the UK Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). This also means a switch of work base for Lyndsey from Edinburgh in Scotland to Darlington in England.

In her new role, Lyndsey will oversee some key tasks associated with the publication of statistics in the quarterly live tables and also annual data, including a statistical bulletin. She will also undertake data-related tasks such as quality assurance of the materials sent to, and data collected from, local authorities.

Further to this, Lyndsey now has some line management responsibilities, and opportunities for work-related travel for team days, networking, and learning events. She snapped the shot of the River Thames below on her return journey home to the north of England after her first work trip in her new role to the London office of the MHCLG last Wednesday 3rd December.
