[Solved] VPS not working with pacman -Syu

I've just spun up a new instance of a vps (decided to host my website on arch). However, when I try and do

 $ sudo pacman -Syu

there are an awful lot of updates that need to go through (guessing ubiquity hosting are using an old image of arch) and eventually it fails with:

:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] 
:: Retrieving packages ...
 dhcpcd-6.8.1-1-x86_64    142.8 KiB  4.65M/s 00:00 [##########################] 100%

(125/125) checking package integrity               [##########################] 100%
error: dhcpcd: signature from "Anatol Pomozov <anatol.pomozov@gmail.com>" is unknown trust
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/dhcpcd-6.8.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] 

I can delete the dhcpd package, but obviously when I run pacman -Syu it redownloads it. I'm guessing this is a signature issue from PGP which doesn't exist any more. Would it help if I import the new public keys? If so, where do I get them and how to I import them?

TIA
Adam

The above commands worked, but I've still got the problem with the signatures and packages.
