Please provide a brief comment about your experience with Kevin

He was very pleasant to speak to when I got to speak to him. Difficult to get hold of. He phoned me one evening at around 8pm. I had friends visiting so didn’t want to pick up and discuss things when they were there. He also phoned on Mother’s Day late afternoon and again I had family visiting. When I did talk to him there were one or two questions I wasn’t sure of but said I would find out and phone him back. I left a voicemail about a week ago. Haven’t heard from him since. I’m disappointed because I’ve wasted that time. He seemed too busy to take on anyone else.
