    Len Cook

    Len Cook    		 Len Cook joined the New Zealand Department of Statistics in 1971. In 1992 he was appointed Government Statistician in New Zealand, and in May 2000 he crossed the globe to become the United Kingdom's first ever National Statistician at the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
    Len has a wide range of professional interests, including social policy, superannuation, taxation, demography, statistical methodology and marketing and is also concerned with the application of technology to information issues.
    Over the years, Len has been involved in a variety of statistical and managerial matters. It is his aim that statistics should be used in the decision-making processes of business, government and the community. In line with his belief that statisticians must do more to interpret their work, he is actively involved in the presentation of statistical trends to professional audiences and to the public.
    Len left ONS in September 2005 to return to New Zealand.
