Kevin has worked in the not-for-profit sector since 2006, after the briefest of stints as a trainee lawyer, and a not-so-brief two-year adventure travelling and working around the world. He has an incredible passion and understanding for corporate fundraising and the charity sector, having worked for the likes of The National Autistic Society, YouthNet (now The Mix) and Dogs Trust, bringing in multi-year, six-figure partnerships and managing high-value accounts. He has significant commercial and marketing expertise and helped to establish the commercial trading arm of national charity, Living Streets, into a dynamic and thriving business in its own right.
Originally from Newcastle, and a big Newcastle United fan, East London is very much Kevin’s home, alongside his partner and young son. His northern and rural upbringing means he is often out exploring and walking in the countryside on weekends, enjoying the fresh air and local pubs! Outside of being a dad and following his team, Kevin loves music, particularly techno, and is an avid collector of vinyl and music equipment.
”Kevin contacted me regarding a job opportunity and has helped me secure the role. He made sure we both were on the same page by constantly following up. He thoroughly guided me through the process and ensured I was confident during my interview. After securing the job he also assisted with the hiring process and stayed in touch for any updates. I would recommend Kevin!

”I was fortunate enough to work with Kevin on a recent recruitment and couldn't be happier about the process! Kevin is excellent listener...really able to grasp our needs and articulate them better than we could. And able to point out gaps or areas to strengthen within the recruitment cycle. He was patient throughout and never pressured us to make decisions that would speed up the process but compromise quality. So refreshing to work with a recruiter who genuinely cares about placing the right person in the right place at the right time. His in-depth understanding of the sector was also invaluable and helped him quickly understand our needs and organisational culture. Would recommend without hesitation. Thanks Kevin for all the support :).
