A Chat With April’s Profile, Tim Burns, brand manager of Edmund Scientific

CS: Can you cover your personal background. How long have you been at Edmund Scientific? How did you get your start in the catalog business?
TB: I’ve been with VWR the past 10 years. And I started with Science Kit, which is actually the parent company of Edmund Scientific. Science Kit is really everything a science teacher uses in the classroom — from chemicals to frogs to microscopes. I started with them 10 years ago in their bid sales group and then left for a brief period of time to do the dot-com thing, and then came back in 2004 to manage the Edmund Scientific business. I’ve been doing that for the last four years.
