Our Story

Founded in 2017 by hospitality leader David King‑Underwood, KNG Group exists to help hotels, restaurants and lifestyle venues unlock their potential.  What began as David’s vision has evolved into a joint, family‑led enterprise.  Today, David and his wife, our Chief People Officer co‑lead the business.  She heads the recruitment division, regularly speaks at industry events and is an active member of the IHR community, bringing fresh insight and strong networks to our clients.  Together they oversee a multidisciplinary team of chefs, managers, financial experts and recruiters, all passionate about elevating the hospitality industry.  We believe in integrity, transparency and partnership, and we measure success by the long‑term growth of our clients and the development of their people
