Brian 'treated staff like one of the family'
He was in many ways, ‘Mr Empress’.
The general manager of the Empress Hotel in Douglas for a period spanning three decades and a friendly, familiar face for locals and tourists alike.
It was not just at the Empress though where the name of Brian Keenan, who has died aged 70, was synonymous – as long-time colleagues and friends Trevor Lawson and David Mason explained.
