Greatness From Sweet Beginnings: The Fascinating Evolution of Fairacres Group with Directors Mike & Rosie Kean #111

Fairacres Group began with Mike Kean’s father making boiled sweets. Decades later, it’s an icon on the South Coast with its roles in property, hospitality and a legendary ferry.

The business, much like Mike himself, is being brought into the new generation by his daughter Rosie, and the story behind the succession is a charming tale of responsibility and reinvention!

Join Rosie and Mike as they share the journey with us on It Runs In The Family…

This episode covers:

• Gradual transitioning leadership to a next generation, and the importance of understanding the business from the ground up
• Generational perspectives on business, and how Rosie’s helped introduce ideas around diversity, inclusion, and work-life balance
• Fairacres Group’s evolution from making boiled sweets to managing a ferry, hospitality, and property
• Both Mike and Rosie’s deep emotional investment in the family business as custodians for future generations
• How Rosie and Mike commit to maintaining their relationship above the business
