Talented team of hospitality executives join forces to launch Kinsfolk & Co.
A new international hospitality management company delivering sustainable returns for people, places and investors.
Launching in May 2023, Kinsfolk & Co. is a new hospitality management company, born in London, but created with an international perspective. The dynamic organisation, which is led by some of the best talent from across the industry, was founded with a mission to deliver enhanced performance and put triple bottom line priorities at its heart. The mindset is long-term, ensuring the operation is a conscientious, ethical business for years to come.
The privately owned hospitality management company is led by Paul Brackley, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, who was previously Managing Director of The Beaumont Hotel, Mayfair (Corbin & King) and General Manager of the Shangri-La at The Shard London. Paul has joined together a founding super-team of hospitality professionals, including:
- People & Culture Director, Ninoska Leppard who spent 19 years with Corbin & King and The Beaumont Hotel and eight years at Caprice Holdings;
- Commercial Director, Rachel Fearon, who spent 22 years at Firmdale Hotels and prior to this worked at One Aldwych, London.
- Heymo Nyoni, Chief Financial Officer, who most recently worked for Standard International,
- Stas Anastasiades, Restaurants & Innovations Director, who is a well-known and respected hospitality figure having worked for Milsom Hotels and Restaurants for 20 years.
The Kinsfolk & Co. team has come together with a shared vision to create a new company that delivers enhanced profitability through thoughtful excellence.
We are incredibly fortunate to start a completely fresh company, where we can build a community with a shared vision – be that with our team, our partners or our investors. We believe in the power of hospitality, working together within our wider industry. As a collective force, our company will deliver sustainable returns for all our stakeholders. Paul Brackley, Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Kinsfolk & Co. has plans to build a managed portfolio of hospitality businesses. With a pipeline already in place, the company will launch two luxury boutique hotels in central London. The first will open in Fitzrovia in 2024, and the second in Westminster in 2026. With new standalone neighbourhood restaurants and luxury serviced apartment concepts also in development, Kinsfolk & Co. will work to seamlessly weave each asset into the fabric of the local community.
While each new opening will be completely individual and independent, all will have a Kinsfolk & Co. sensibility and golden thread running through. We will craft and create places that inspire new experiences, always putting people and relationships at the centre of what we do. Ultimately working in a balanced way, we will deliver enhanced profits, adding value for all our clients. Welcoming and warm, Kinsfolk & Co. will bring something new, but at the same time something familiar. Rachel Fearon, Commercial Director
The company has a complete end-to-end management offering, which features a range of vertical services, from advisory, asset management, concept creation and design guidelines through to operations. The Kinsfolk & Co. employment mission is to add their support to the revival of hospitality as a career. All of the above is delivered and underpinned by the shared values and principles on which the company has been founded.
