Jamie Baxter, regional director for Halcrow said: "We are delighted to have someone of Caroline's experience join our team and I'm confident that she will be a great asset to us moving forward.

"Her extensive background in the education sector is definitely something we are keen to utilise, as is her knowledge of economics and statistics."

Dr Currie said: "I am looking forward to working alongside a great team here within Halcrow and developing our work within the education and renewable sectors.
