Indeed he was liked and respected wherever he went, a hard-working and conscientious man who was always happy to have a word and had a regular smile on his face.
In eight years as CEO at Derby County he oversaw the move to Pride Park from the Baseball Ground and a promotion to the Premier League. He was later in the same role at Derbyshire, where he saw 1800 seats added to the ground, between 2004 and 2012 and the installation of the marquee.
He was professional and efficient and I was always grateful for his courtesy and prompt answers to any questions I asked in the early years of this blog.
He was respected throughout the county and beyond and played a very important and appreciated role in the development of its sports teams, big and small.
Rest in Peace, Keith.
