Kevin spent over 30 years working at the UK Post Office in a variety of sales and strategy roles. This included launching a range of own brand financial services products, development of the Post Office card account, a benefits payment account for the unbanked that at its peak had nearly 5m customers and P&L responsibility for £500m covering all Government and Mails contracts. He was also responsible for the £1bn Government funded Network Transformation Programme that saw closer integration between the retail operation of the host retailers and the post office operation. This freed up vital retail space, increased opening hours and helped make post offices more accessible for customers.
Prior to leaving the Post Office in 2017, Kevin developed the 2020 -23 strategy for the network of 11,600 post offices which included simplification of transactions, increased automation and renewal of the post office POS solution. This included developing the integration of post office software onto host retailer’s own ePos systems.
Kevin then worked for a fast growing boutique consultancy, helping them to set up a professional bid function and sales operations capability that helped them to win new business from Government and win places on three framework contracts.
Kevin joined Escher in 2019 as Vice President Sales for the EMEA region.
