I am merging lots of addresses that have different
information and varying lengths of address.

When I merge to a letter etc, I am getting blank lines.
ie some of the people have a title some don't so that the
ones who don't have a title of "Director, Manager" have a
blank line instead.

Is there a quick and easy remedy for this?

In the Print item in the File menu there should be an
option to choose that says something like "Don't print
blank lines when there is not data"

You can use a conditional field to insert the field and the line break when
the field has content eg

{Mergefield Lastname}{IF {Mergefield Title} <> "" "
Mergefield Title}"}
