Kevin Revell

My name is Kevin Revell. I've lived in Norwich since graduating from University of East Anglia in 1985. I work in IT, go running a lot and generally spend far too little time with my family. I joined the Trustees at Move On East because I wanted to help provide a really valuable service to a hugely disadvantaged part of our community.
