Nigel Marriott CStat CSci MSc
 Chartered Statistician

The breadth of my experience is highly unusual in any profession, but particularly for a Chartered Statistician. Most Chartered Statisticians tend to specialise in particular fields but I have worked with teams in research, purchasing, finance, trading desks, sales, marketing, product design, IT, engineering, manufacturing, quality and scientific fields.

This has given me fluency in many varieties of technical and non-technical English, an ability to communicate with any audience from boardroom to shopfloor, a high level of commercial awareness and the experience to see how one part fits into the bigger picture.

My work has almost always been international in scope and I have worked with clients in every continent except Antartica.

 Nigel Marriott's Background

• 1991-1997:  Cocoa Market Analyst for ED&F Man Ltd
• 1997-1999:  Commodity Economist for Mars Inc

 Academic Credentials

I am a Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society and was accredited by the society as a Chartered Statistician (CStat) in 2003. This is an assurance that:

• I have significant practical experience in addition to professional qualifications
• I am committed to a program of continuous professional development
• I adhere to the Chartered Statistician's code of conduct

In 2009, I was awarded a Maintained Professional Certificate by the Royal Statistical Society as evidence that I had engaged in continuous professional development since being accredited as CStat. I was also accredited as a Chartered Scientist (CSci) by the Science Council.

I achieved my MSc in Applied Statistics at Birkbeck College, London in 1997 where my main project presentation is still regarded as "the gold standard that all students should aspire to" by the Statistics department. My first degree was at the University of Bath from where I graduated in 1991 with BSc (Hons) in Mathematics.
