On Monday I asked the question, just who is the current acting Keeper of the Records of Scotland and Registrar General?, it having been unofficially confirmed by the previous incumbent himself that he had left the post (see http://scottishgenes.blogspot.com/2023/02/who-is-current-acting-keeper-of-records.html).
Announced by the National Records of Scotland today:
Janet Egdell will take up the post of Interim Chief Executive from 20th February.
Janet is currently accountable officer at Registers of Scotland and will bring a wealth of experience to the role.
Interim Chief Executive for National Records of Scotland, Janet Egdell said:
“I am delighted to be joining National Records of Scotland as Interim CEO, the Registrar General for Scotland, and the Keeper of the Records of Scotland.
“It will be really exciting to work with the team in the coming months to deliver important services across NRS.”
