Q&A: Mike Keating

Mike Keating is the managing director of Key2 Group and has been in the industry for 25 years. He co-directs the company with his wife Lesley. He claims never to have had a fashion disaster, which suggests a man in denial, an accusation he would perhaps level at the celebrity he most wishes would get out of here.
