This page gives you a sense of who we are, what it’s like to work at Red Kite and what to expect if you apply for one of our roles.
Red Kite was founded in 2022 by Freddie after several years working in fast-growing short-term rental businesses in London.
The goal was to build a holiday home management company that combines strong hospitality, solid operations, thoughtful technology and a personal approach.
We’ve grown quickly: around 35 homes in 2023, 70 in 2024 and 130 by the end of 2025.
Our team is now 24 people, mostly based in the UK near our homes, with others working remotely from the UK, Portugal, South Africa and the Philippines.
We’re aiming to reach 500 homes by 2030, but growth is always balanced with quality. We care just as much about how we operate as how many homes we manage.

A question we often ask is: Is this somewhere we would genuinely want to stay ourselves?

A stay in one of our homes is often a guest’s main holiday of the year.
We want guests to fully relax, enjoy the home and local area, and return home feeling refreshed.
We take that responsibility seriously and focus on delivering a consistently high standard of hospitality and service.
We thrive off of reviews like this one:

“A Truly Special Stay We’ll Never Forget. This place is genuinely one of a kind. From the moment we arrived, we knew this wasn't just another holiday accommodation. The location is absolutely outstanding, offering peace, tranquillity, and a chance to completely switch off from the hustle and bustle of town and city life.”

Red Kite is fast-growing and constantly evolving. We’ve built strong foundations, but we’re still early in our journey.
Every six months, things feel more structured and efficient, but we still regularly encounter new situations that require judgement and problem-solving.
