Keith Winsor

Keith Winsor

Keith Winsor joined the council in 2008 and is the representative from the Specialist Providers sector. 

I started work as an electrician in 1980, straight from school and joined the moving industry in 1984, the June after I was married. I have been with GB Liners now for over 15 years, having joined the company on 1st March 1993.  I am a committed Christian and actively involved, along with my family in Freedom Church (www.freedomchurch.co.uk), a keen golfer and trained classical violinist. However, I now mostly play the guitar. My colleagues will tell you, my attention to detail is painful to endure. However, as my clients need to have access to quality information at the end of the phone or by swift response to email, it is one of my greatest strengths. It does enhance the service that GB Liners provides to our clients, ensuring that all information is shared with the right people, every time. I am really excited about working with the Council of the ARP, looking to enhance on what has been done for the industry before, and hopefully raising the profile of the ARP on the European / Worldwide stage. As a service provider to the Relocation industry, I would hope to be able to help the Council keep the quality of our members high, using my 25 years experience and my working knowledge of the BAR (British Association of Removers) too. I am married to Teresa and we celebrated our Silver Wedding anniversary in April 2009.  We have two daughters, Danielle and Megan.
