A new international hospitality management company Kinsfolk and Co has officially launched with plans to operate a “managed portfolio of hospitality businesses”.
The company plans to have two hotels in Central London and one in Europe. It plans to open a hotel in Fitzrovia in 2024 and Westminster in 2026.
The company is led by Paul Brackley, founder and CEO, who was previously managing director of The Beaumont Hotel, Mayfair and general manager of the Shangri-La at The Shard London.
The team also includes people and culture director Ninoska Leppard who spent 19 years with Corbin and King and The Beaumont Hotel and eight years at Caprice Holdings.
The group also confirmed Heymo Nyoni will take on the role of CFO having previously worked for Standard International.
Brackley said: “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.”
Rachel Fearon, commercial director, added: “While each new opening will be completely individual and independent, all will have a Kinsfolk and 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 and Co. will bring something new, but at the same time something familiar.”
