Managing Director
Stan Keig’s contagious enthusiasm for both business and life in general has been a driving force in the success of Viking Office Systems since the company was formed by him and Graham Jones back in 1994. His unerringly positive outlook has shaped the business as a force to be reckoned with in its field, and a great place to work for its employees.
Under Stan’s stewardship the company has grown in both size and stature, earning many plaudits for its innovation and its commitment to a world class quality, Isle of Man focused, service: ‘Business is serious fun,’ said Stan. ‘By its very nature it has to be serious but why shouldn’t it also be fun?’
Stan is understandably proud of Viking Office Systems’ achievements, but also of the part the company has played in Island life as a whole – supporting and assisting a host of community and charity projects. ‘I see myself to be very lucky to be where I am doing what I’m doing. Business life has its ups and downs but it’s essential to retain a positive outlook.’
Married to Tara, the couple have three young daughters. They live in Greeba, just a couple of minutes from the office at St Johns. Tara is one of Viking’s Directors and a shareholder.
Stan, who was brought up in Port St Mary, loves the sea: ‘Strangely, what I like is that I can’t see it from my home in Greeba. It means that whenever I go anywhere on the Island I get the pleasure of it coming into view!’
