Our people

Great businesses are built
by great people

AKI is led by two hands-on co-directors who are personally accountable for every project — and who are building a team around the same standards.

Leadership

The directors

Our culture

High standards. Mutual respect.

We are building a workplace where standards are high and people are treated properly — proper training, real progression as the group grows, and directors who work alongside the team rather than above it.

As the portfolio grows, so do the opportunities: restaurant leadership, kitchen careers, operations management and, in time, head-office roles across property, finance and people.

How we're organised

Small head office. Strong restaurants.

Leadership

Two co-directors covering property & finance and operations & people — with direct accountability for every site.

Restaurant operations

Restaurant managers, kitchen leadership and front-of-house teams, recruited and trained ahead of each opening.

People & compliance

HR, payroll, right-to-work and training infrastructure — built centrally so every restaurant opens with proper support.
