In 1994, Lindsay won bronze at the World Rowing Junior Championships in Munich.[3]
He won a gold medal in the eight event at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, as a member of the British rowing team.[4] He was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire in the 2001 New Year Honours, for services to rowing.[5]

After his Olympic success, Lindsay announced his retirement from competitive rowing and went into business.[3][6] He worked for Goldman Sachs for three years, and later was managing director of electrical retailer Ryness Electrical where he took part in a management buyout in 2006.[7]
He joined Telecom Plus in 2007; he was the chief operating officer in 2009[7] and was promoted to chief executive officer in July 2010.[8] Telecom Plus is a multi-utility which trades largely as Utility Warehouse[9] and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 index.
