Keith is Yorkshire born and bred having been born, brought up and educated in Bradford. At the age of 16 he joined British Rail and rose to the dizzy heights of Station Master in record time, being promoted at the age of 21 and becoming Britain’s youngest Station Master, an achievement which Keith is still immensely proud of today.

His strong networking ability within Yorkshire and beyond assists both corporate relationships and many activities promoting Yorkshire and all that is great about the county and its people, communities and businesses.
