Kevin started his working career in the engineer’s department in Barrow-in-Furness Borough Council before moving to Cumbria County Council, where he was involved in traffic management issues in South Cumbria. He later became involved in training and development in Highways and Local Government. He was one of the Project Managers for the Carlisle Northern Development Route and on retirement, in 2013, was the Area Manager, Highways and Transport for the Carlisle area.

Since retiring Kevin has been directly involved with several community organisations in the Carlisle area including Age UK North Cumbria as a former trustee; Ramblers Wellbeing Walks, where he is a walk leader in Carlisle; the Alzheimer’s Society as a Dementia Friend Ambassador and more recently as an active supporter of Age Friendly Cumberland and the development of Resilience Plans for the Carlisle area.

An active Rotarian for over 30 years, Kevin was District Governor for Cumbria & Lancashire in 2013/14. He has been involved in several projects both in the UK and Internationally funded by The Rotary Foundation. This included supporting communities after the 2015 floods which initially brought him in contact with the Community Foundation.

Kevin enjoys walking and he also volunteers with the Cumbria Wildlife Trust and the South Tynedale Railway. Other hobbies include music, photography and model railways.
