Trusted Partners / KIN
People we'd
put our name to.
KIN is not a directory.
We don't publish a giant list of suppliers and leave you to figure it out.
We make considered introductions to businesses we trust, when they're relevant to your business.
Trust before transactions.
At the right time.
Public proof. Member value.
Members get
the detail.
The names are public. The value sits inside KIN.
Members get direct introductions, member opportunities, pricing, support, relevant contacts and the real "who do I speak to?" detail.
That's part of what membership is for.
The Rogue Standard
Trust is
earned.
A Trusted Partner isn't someone who bought a badge.
It's a business we'd be comfortable putting in front of one of our own venues.
We'd recommend them to a friend.
They solve problems.
They answer the phone.
They care about independents.
They keep getting better.
Trust can be earned.
It can also be lost.
Same standard.

How KIN partnerships work
Advice before sales.
Members first.
KIN should always act in the member's best interests, even when that doesn't maximise revenue.
No forced switching.
If a member already has the right supplier, partner or deal, we should be comfortable saying so.
Long-term relationships.
Introductions should create useful relationships, not quick transactions.
Standards matter.
Trusted Partner status has to keep meaning something.
For KIN members

For future partners
Want to back
independent
hospitality?
We're looking for businesses that genuinely want to help independent hospitality thrive.
Not every category needs ten options. We'd rather find one exceptional partner than build a directory full of average ones.
If your business shares that view, talk to us.
