Kith & Kin
Welcome to Kith & Kin: How It Works
Kith & Kin is a dedicated community for those in the hospitality industry. It's the resource I longed for during the times I was setting up, running, and growing my businesses—a beacon for anyone navigating the rewarding yet challenging hospitality landscape.
This is a unique space exclusively for hospitality professionals to build community, share challenges, insights, and understanding. Here, we foster relationships, explore opportunities, and encourage collaborations.
Kith & Kin is selective in spirit—open to all, yet truly belonging to those with a curious and exploratory mindset. Those who are open to opportunity, willing to embrace change, and driven to grow will find themselves at home here. Our members are united by a willingness to support others, an openness to new ideas, and a commitment to collaboration.
Our forum events are always free, removing any barriers to participation beyond one's own mindset. These events are made possible through the generosity of our venues and supporters, with speakers offering their insights and advice without charge, driven by a shared desire to uplift the community.
Kith & Kin thrives as a supportive network, welcoming business owners, senior managers, and anyone from supervisors to apprentices within the hospitality industry. We value fresh ideas and recognize the importance of nurturing the next generation—the future of hospitality.
The Kith & Kin Awards celebrate excellence within our industry, recognizing those who contribute to outstanding customer experiences. It's our way of coming together to applaud a job well done.
For those seeking deeper engagement, our Inner Circle offers paid consultancy services. This premium offering includes 1-on-1 consultancy, a mastermind group of peers, bespoke project work, immersive workshop days, and inspiring success stories, all aimed at fostering long-term growth and sustainability.
My love for the hospitality industry has been a privileged journey, creating venues and events that have woven into the fabric of people's stories. Hospitality, an often-underrated field, is driven by a community passionate about service, kindness, and the thrill of solving complex daily challenges.
While part of me yearns to return as an operator, my mission is to share my passion and experience with the wider industry through Kith & Kin. It represents everything I wished for throughout my 30 years in hospitality—a place for support, understanding, and connection with like-minded individuals.
Kith & Kin is a call to those who share this passion yet understand the complexities of our industry.
