Electrician turned on by Number plates
At the age of 10, Keith Butler knew that number plates would
become a part of his life. He had been totally fascinated by the
number plate 666 HOT on the car of a family friend. "When I saw
it, something just clicked, and I was hooked."
Keith's interest was fuelled again years later when he saw Jimmy
Tarbuck's famous plate COM 1C in a newspaper article.
In 1987, Keith started KMK of Luton, Bedfordshire, providing
electrical and mechanical contract services. One of his earliest
personal rewards, needless to say, was to purchase his first cherished
number plate H1 KRB (which are his initials). Sheer hard work
and endeavour resulted in a substantial ongoing contract that
was secured with two large pharmaceutical companies. This success
allowed Keith to make another purchase, this time K13 KMK, which
represents his company's initials.
KMK continued to thrive with new contracts involving the refurbishment
of the Nat-West Tower (after it was bombed) and the 'City Point'
project at Moorgate. Keith's ambition of owning his ultimate 'number
one' cherished registration drew ever nearer. Two more substantial
contracts followed. One was for the MoD and the other for building
management services on two of the new Jubilee Line Stations. Their
success finally allowed Keith to go for his ideal plate - 1 KRB.
