About us
Our story began in 1998 when Mark Dixon a university statistics lecturer decided to set up a one-man-band consultancy offering statistical modelling and research services. Featuring near the top of a Yellow Pages listing was a priority at the time and led to Mark opting for Advanced Training and Statistical Services or ATASS for short. Increasingly his love of football led him to take on more and more sports-related work and by 2001 he and a handful of colleagues were working under the new identity of ATASS Sports.
Today we are one of the largest commercial statistical research teams in Europe and a leader in the field of the application of statistical modelling in sports. We have created and continue to develop a collection of statistical and mathematical models that allow sporting outcomes to be predicted with unparalleled accuracy. Click here to read more about us!
