Meet the team – Marketing
and Information Systems
Continuing our series of profiles on CICM HQ teams,
this month we learn about the wide-ranging work of the
‘Marketing and Information Systems’ team.
Peter Collinson
Head of Marketing and Information Systems
Morag Tyler
Reporting and IT Support Analyst
Andrew Morris
Art Editor
PRIOR to joining CICM, Peter worked in
IT starting out in an era when computer
programming was considered a dark and
mysterious world. He was Director of a
market-leading HR software and services
vendor for 15 years, before joining a major
global outsourcing organisation where he
headed up the Client Services Division,
responsible for a £50m+ account portfolio
delivering managed IT and FM services
from a shared service centre.
He joined CICM in 2012 to develop
the brand and commercial propositions
for a changing market. His role now
includes responsibility for all mainstream
marketing activity including website
design and content, data analytics,
marketing collateral, events, webinars,
and multi-channel campaigns.
Additionally, Peter has responsibility
for development and maintenance of
the Institute’s business systems and
IT infrastructure, CICM contracts and
Corporate Partnerships.
Away from work, apart from having fun
with his grandson, Peter loves most types
of music, but particularly jazz, funk, soul
and progressive rock. He loves live music
and has played keyboards in various
bands for over 40 years, continuing to do
so with his current band, The PC Project.
AFTER graduating in business studies,
Morag has over 20 years work experience
in a variety of industry sectors based in
the UK and overseas.
With a strong background in marketing
her passion is data and using it to facilitate
‘informed decision-making.’
Morag has been at the CICM for over
six years and is involved in many areas of
marketing, IT and project management.
Her major current focus is a redesign
of the CRM database. Having travelled
all over the world, Morag is now settled
in a small village in Rutland with her
husband Simon and two children James
and Emily.
They enjoy camping holidays in
France, a variety of sporting activities
and generally getting involved in village
life. Morag is also Membership Secretary
at Uppingham Town Cricket Club.
AFTER leaving Art College, Andrew
has accumulated more than 20 years
experience in the creative design industry.
Andrew started his apprenticeship
with EMAP, a well-known publishing
company, learning about print production
and typography skills. He then progressed
through the ranks to eventually manage
the art department where he worked on
various print and digital design projects.
He then moved into editorial design
and began designing news pages as a
senior designer on various magazines and
newspapers.
Andrew has been Art Editor of Credit
Management magazine for almost four
years, and has injected a modern and
contemporary style to the CICM magazine.
He has several hobbies which include
surfing, art, aviation history and playing
guitar, but his biggest passion is riding his
Harley Davidson motorbike.
Delivering information, resources, events,
systems and data that supports our
members, drives campaigns and enables
our processes.
