Keith Hopwood

Managing Director

Beginning his career at age 17 as the rhythm guitarist for seminal British Invasion band Herman’s Hermits, Keith launched Pluto with lead guitarist Derek Leckenby in 1968, as a small recording concern under Strawberry Studios in Stockport. Transforming Pluto in a music compositional powerhouse, Keith has written the music for The BFG, Wind in the Willows, Pingu and Bob the Builder, to name but a few. Releasing his first solo record in 2021, Keith splits his time between his own writing, writing for picture, and being the maker of the worlds finest dry martini.
