Dick Boddy

Dick is the MD and founder of s4i. His mission is to help companies use statistics to solve real life business problems. Enabling them to make informed decisions to increase efficiency, drive their company forward and generate greater profit.

After working as a process development chemist for one of the UK’s largest manufacturers, Dick retrained as a statistician and spent several years as a senior lecturer in statistics. He realised that there was a huge gap between theoretical statistics taught in higher education and the practical application of statistics needed to give companies a competitive edge. And so s4i was born.

As well as designing the workshops and writing much of the course materials, Dick also develops and runs bespoke in-house courses. His consultancy work with many global companies in the UK, Europe and America means that in a world of ever evolving technology, Dick has first-hand experience of the latest tools, techniques and methods which can be used to make sense of the huge amounts of data now available.
