Kevin Veizi

Co-founded a small sustainable last-mile delivery business that has worked with local businesses across London and currently provides recurring delivery services for one main food supplier.

Converted an initial delivery trial with an Italian food supplier into a recurring paid relationship, generating £70k+ in cumulative revenue from the core delivery relationship while operating the service with a very small founder-led team.

Set up the company’s operational administration across Xero payroll, expense reconciliation, accounting records and employee pension processes.

Built and tested the company’s customer-acquisition process across targeted outbound outreach, LinkedIn and paid social, managing prospecting, messaging and channel experimentation.

Built and managed the development of eco-ked.com with freelance developers hired through Upwork.

Developed and tested TheDealDashers, an early-stage restaurant discovery and deals marketplace launched on iOS and Android, onboarding 10 London restaurants and reaching around 40 users during initial testing.

Continue to personally complete deliveries for the main supplier while managing collections, routes, customer requirements and day-to-day service issues.

Co-Founded a small, family run tourism venture focused on helping international visitors plan and experience trips to Vlorë and southern Albania. The venture has been developed intermittently alongside other work, with periods of limited activity before being relaunched in 2024.

Secured approximately €5,000 in grant funding in 2017, which was used to develop and launch the initial website, purchase bicycles for rental, and commission professional photography for the platform and marketing.

Defined the website concept and customer experience, providing developers with requirements and guidance on the platform’s structure and design.

Attended World Travel Market London in 2017, 2018 and 2019 to approach potential international travel partners and explore distribution opportunities. The outreach generated industry contacts but did not result in commercial partnerships or meaningful customer traction.

Relaunched the venture in 2024 and coordinated trips for initial paying customers, arranging accommodation, car rental, travel itineraries and airport transfers in Albania.

Operate the venture with family members, coordinating suppliers, customer requirements and trip logistics.

Returned to the same small, family owned gym during the COVID-19 period, taking responsibility for day-to-day operations as the business navigated closures, restrictions and changing customer demand.

Managed member enquiries, memberships and payments, scheduling, customer issues and general administration.

Supported digital marketing and direct communication with members to retain customers and rebuild memberships as restrictions changed.

Used my personal training qualification to support members with gym equipment and training programs.

Studied Sport Management with coursework across management, finance, marketing and human resources within the sports industry.

Participated in international experiential projects including The Pitch Interactive Case Study in Cape Town, South Africa, and Great North Run activities in Groningen, Netherlands, gaining exposure to how sports organizations and events operate across different markets.
