About This Site

Martin Burns

This is my site - here to tell friends, colleagues, clients and suppliers a bit about me and what I do.

The short version is that I work for IBM Global Business Services, project managing CRM initiatives for large clients.

I've worked for clients in the CPG and Government sectors, but I focus on the financial services sector.

In my Copious Spare Time™, I take photos, look after my youngsters, Morgan, Ruaridh and Orla and help Lucy run her Cloth Nappy Business.

For the longer version, well you'll have to email me, but while you're here, take a look at my Blog, read some of my articles, or take a look at my photos.
