Niamh Yates – Project Delivery, Events & Comms Manager

Niamh joined Movement to Work in October 2024 as Project Delivery, Comms and Events Manager on secondment from the Civil Service Fast Stream.

Niamh is in her second year of working in the Fast Stream. Her first year posting centred around devolution policy within the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. Her main role was working on the Islands Forum which brought together UK island councils, as well as Devolved Governments and UK Government to discuss island-specific issues. She liaised with stakeholders to develop the main forum meeting, briefing pack and actions from it. 

She has experience in communications through her internship in external comms with Suez Recycling and Recovery in 2023, and has planned events through previous university extracurriculars which included local concerts.

Based in Edinburgh, in her spare time, Niamh enjoys live music (mostly rock and metal), trips to pubs with friends and family, reading (especially about politics) and finding new coffee shops to try.
