Keith Young of Horntye Park.

Keith Young is Horntye Park’s new financial manager in post for just over a month. He describes himself as a ‘finance professional’ recognised by the Chartered Insitute of Public Finance Accountants). His speciality is in financial information systems. He has managed accounting departments for two Health Authorities – in Dorset and Glamorgan. For the last ten years Keith was a director of a financial consultancy company. “This involved training staff in the use of financial software in India Malaysia and Mexico.”
  Does Keith live locally? “We’re trying to buy  a house up on the Ridge. We currently live in Stone Cross, near Pevensey. It takes about 35mins to get in to work, sometimes over an hour, which is a real pain.”
  Is he a sporting man? “No, not at all. But I do spend a lot of my time supporting and caddying for my ten-year old son, Alex,  who’s a Kent county player.” Why doesn’t he play for Sussex? “Well, he applied to the Sussex Golf Union, but they said he was too young and too small!”
  Keith’s other main pastime is photography. “I like scenic pictures best and I take them here and abroad. After having a range of cameras, I think that a lot of the quality in a picture comes from its composition and not from the equipment used. After saying that, I would not like to be without my Canon camera.”
