New Years Honours List – Congratulations Ian McClean MBE

Ian McleanIan’s award of an MBE is in recognition of his involvement in the Statistics Users’ Council over the last 34 years, including 10 years as secretary and 15 years as chairman until his retirement in September, 2004. The SUC was set-up in 1970 to act as a forum for the exchange of views between official statisticians and users, including the CBI, TUC and some 14 other organisations.

Retirement does not mean an end to Ians’ involvement in statistics and he is currently the UK representative on the European Union Statistics Advisory Council and chairman of its dissemination commitee.

He is also a past vice president and still an active member of the International Association for Official Statistics, when their conferences take you to places such as Tibet, Ethiopia, Mexico and Iceland who wouldn’t be!
