The announcement of Keith’s loss I’m sure came as a shock to all of us at his Office.  My sympathies go out to Keith’s wife plus family members and his close friends.  Keith will be missed at the Office, he was always a friendly, approachable, responsible and humorous guy as I would expect other Siemens colleagues would certainly agree.  Once again, so sorry to hear of Keith’s passing away and Best Wishes of everything to come with those who are closely related to him. …

From his first days in the Hebburn office, Keith set about improving the Quality management systems in the Services business and we spent many hours discussing the issues to be addressed. Keith brought his considerable experience to the work and his achievements were widely recognised. Always keen to enter a healthy debate and not afraid to challenge when a challenge was needed, Keith also made sure his contributions were positive, repectful and friendly. Our career paths diverged a few years later but I always enjoyed dropping in on Keith at the Monkton office for a catch up, and as others have said you always came away from a convesation with Keith having had a laugh and feeling a little bit better for it. RIP Keith. …

My deepest condolences to Keith’s family at this sad time. I had the pleasure of working with Keith over the years, he was always happy help, taken far too soon, he will be missed.  …

Keith was a nice man, he was a positive person to have in the office, with kind words and a funny joke.  We will miss him and think of him fondly.  My sincere condolences to the family.  Carl …

We are alongside you to support you and your family through this difficult time.  My deepest Sympathies Mark …

I got to know Keith during our time working together on various SSEN projects. During various audits, site and factory inspections we would meet members of staff who Keith had trained as an apprentice. It was clear that Keith was a well known and respected colleague who will be greatly missed by both the Siemens and SSEN teams. My thoughts and condolences go out to Keith’s family at this time. …

I am so sorry to hear of Keith’s passing. Over the years I’ve had the pleasure of working with Keith on numerous tenders and audits and he would always lighten the mood with his humour and infectious smile. Our thoughts are with all Keith’s family at this very sad time. …

In 2018 Keith had to go to a factory test in France for HV cables, there was also a difficult customer to manage, but as usual with Keith he managed for the test to go smoothly and everyone was happy including the customer. This was typical for all his work. It is a big loss and we shall miss him. …

Such sad news of Keiths passing. He was always there to lighten the mood in the office with his humour, and to share his wealth of experience and knowledge. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. …

I only had the pleasure of working with Keith for a short time but I will remember it fondly.  He was always so happy to talk about his family and it was obvious how much joy they brought to him.  I’ll miss stopping by his desk for a chat (which was more of a laugh than a chat!) – my sincere condolences.  – Jon Moore …
