Keith Turnbull

Keith has enjoyed a diverse career to date. Graduating from Glasgow University with a Master’s degree in Politics, he first went into the world of finance. From there, he moved into defence sales, quickly rising to senior managerial and director positions. At one stage, he commanded a Europe-wide defence sector sales team and would travel daily to one European country after another. This first ‘spell’ in the defence sector quickly pulled him in for good.

He speedily learned about the secretive side of commercial defence-related products and services and his next move into working as a security-cleared contractor for the Ministry of Defence in Whitehall was an obvious move.

Within this role, Keith would spend much of his time in or around military establishments for all three arms of the Service, working also with high-ranking officers and having his first experience of British Special Forces.

From the MoD, he moved to a classified position (Top Secret) within the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London. This secretive role brought him in touch with a huge array of other law enforcement and security intelligence service personnel. Today, he continues to work, periodically, in this environment.
