Ben PageBen Page, managing director, Ipsos MORI Public Affairs and chair of Ipsos MORI Social Research Institute

Ben Page is managing director of Ipsos MORI Public Affairs and chair of the Ipsos MORI Social Research Institute. He joined MORI in 1987 after graduating from Oxford University in 1986, and was one of the leaders of its first management buyout in 2000. A frequent writer and speaker on leadership and performance management in the public sector, he has directed hundreds of surveys examining quality of life, service delivery, customer care, communications and the democratic deficit.

Since 1992 he has worked closely with both Conservative and Labour ministers and senior policy makers across government, leading on work for Downing Street, the Cabinet Office, the Home Office, Communities and Local Government and the Department of Health, as well as a wide range of local authorities and NHS Trusts.

Named one of the "100 most influential people in the public sector" by the Guardian newspaper and "one of the 50 most influential people in local government" by LGC, Ben was winner of the 2001 BMRA award and a 2005 MRS medal. He is a commissioner of architecture and the built environment at CABE. He sits on the editorial board of the International Journal of Market Research (IJMR), and of INVOLVE, a charity promoting citizen participation, and last year served on the Roberts Commission investigating ways of making local government more representative, reporting to the secretary of state for communities.
