One Vision - One Team

Most founders think growth means more pressure, more control, and more chaos. Kayleigh Keith proves the opposite - with the right values, systems, and people, you can build four operating venues, raise kids, and still keep your head clear. Lynn Erasmus sits down with Kayleigh Keith, the force behind a growing hospitality empire and a community-first approach to business that actually works. From taking over her first venue at 24 to navigating pregnancy, payroll, new systems, COVID furloughs, and multiple expansions, Kayleigh shares how she keeps moving without burning out. You’ll discover: Why she says company values are the easiest way to manage people The exact values her team lives by, including "one team one dream," "kill them with kindness," and "lead by example" How she uses calm, detachment, and a wider perspective to make better decisions Why she keeps AI to the absolute minimum in hospitality How community events like the Grieff Spring Fair and Grieff Food Fest helped make the town busier What it really takes to build a business that grows without losing its soul Kayleigh also opens up about the family structures, early independence, and lived experience that shaped her no-nonsense mindset. She explains how a strong support network, honest communication, and a "love you, bye" attitude can actually create more resilience for both parents and children. This conversation is a masterclass in practical leadership, regulated ambition, and building a business that serves real life instead of competing with it. She also works on community initiatives and bespoke tourism projects, including bringing Chinese tourism groups into rural Perthshire.
