Kith & Kin Hospitality

Welcome to Kith & Kin Hospitality

Running a hospitality business is one of the most rewarding careers—but it’s also one of the toughest. As a hospitality entrepreneur, you’re expected to handle everything with a smile, inspiring confidence in your team, your customers, and even your family. Yet, behind the scenes, it’s often chaotic, challenging, and relentless.

That’s why I founded Kith & Kin Hospitality.

After 30 years of setting up and running award-winning venues, I know firsthand how hard it can be. I also know how isolating it feels when no one talks about the challenges we all face. At Kith & Kin, we’re changing that.

This is a space where hospitality professionals can come together, share insights, and support one another. It’s a place to be honest about the realities of the industry while gaining practical strategies and ideas to make running your business a little easier.

I won’t promise to fix everything, but I will share everything I’ve learned over three decades in hospitality so that you can avoid the pitfalls and fast-track your success. At Kith & Kin, you’ll find a community of people who get it—and together, we’ll navigate the challenges of this ever-changing industry.
