Bio
Peter Corrigan
Michael Burns spent some time in our employment ,during his student days , At this time I got to know Michael and his character and it was evident that there was something special about him and his ability to connect with others .I have observed over the years, his progression and developement in these skills, both in his role as teacher and Human resources. I can now say without reservation that Michael has developed a high emotional intelligence and also shows a very strong capacity to think strategicaly when required. Michael first worked with me in his early twenties and our friendship has grown from there. I find him refreshing to talk to with the modern developed mindset and education. He is one of a few people who's career I have followed and stayed in touch with, to see what the next chapter has brought . Wishing Michael all the best in his future Regards Peter Corrigan
