Kith & Kin

Social Enterprise supporting the Leicestershire Hospitality Industry.

Kith & Kin is a social enterprise dedicated to supporting the Leicestershire Hospitality Industry.

It unites operators, enthusiasts, and suppliers in a hospitality community across Leicestershire and beyond.

Led by Cassie Davison, a 25+ year owner-operator, industry expert, and ambassador, Kith & Kin addresses industry isolation, cultural shifts, and developing trends.

Networking, insightful speakers, and mastermind sessions create support, education, and tailored solutions to shape a vibrant hospitality landscape.

Hospitality is underrated; only a few truly grasp why they rely on or love it.

Yet, the walls of our venues and the structures of our events make us familiar, special places—the backdrop to people's lives and the stories they tell. We're essential to society's functioning, and that's not even accounting for the economic impact we have.

The hospitality industry is perpetually in crisis, but honestly, that's why many of us love it, the constant problem solving is a driving force. However, post-COVID, the world has changed and is yet to settle down. But what's clear is that the hospitality industry, once again, must find new ways of doing things and adapt quickly to a changing world.

Kith & Kin unites a community, bringing together industry experts, experience, and novice enthusiasm along with a supportive network and supplier partners to cultivate meaningful relationships.

The assurance that others know your experience, having a place to seek help, the ability to share insights and experiences, and forming relationships that spark the next big idea is truly inspiring.

Kith & Kin fosters the perfect environment for creativity; everyone will leave each event with a new idea.

Kith & Kin's format is designed to maximize collaboration and knowledge-sharing. Monthly meetups on the first Tuesday offer a blend of networking, insightful speakers, mastermind sessions, and valuable takeaways.
