Kieran is the man who has watched this whole adventure unfold with a perfect blend of amusement and admiration.
He’s the team member most likely to roll his eyes, grin, and say,
Of course you two bought a barge. Why wouldn’t you?
But beneath the teasing is someone who gets it — who sees the meaning, the mission, and the magic behind the madness. Kieran brings people together. He tells the story, spreads the vision, and builds the bridges that help turn one bold idea into a whole movement.
He’s the connector, the collaborator, and the voice saying,
Yep, we can do this — and here’s who we should talk to.
Every project needs a realist with a good heart and a sense of humour. That’s Kieran.
Pet Hates:
- Being told “We’ve had an idea…” by Wendy and Mark simultaneously
- Corporate jargon like “synergy,” “journey,” or “touch base”
- When he’s right too early and no one listens
- People who say “I’ve emailed you” as a threat
- The moment he realises he is actually going along with the madness
Things That Make Him Smile:
- Watching a plan go from “are we kidding?” to “bloody hell, it worked”
- The lads making progress — even tiny steps
- A meeting that ends early for once
- Seeing Wendy’s excitement and Mark’s sigh merge into a perfect harmony
- Being proven right… but kindly
Hopes & Ambitions:
- To keep building partnerships with people who get it
- To expand The Hideout Collective so far he has to roll his eyes in multiple postcodes
- To be the calm voice of reason even when everyone else is knee-deep in chaos
- To retire someday and say: “Yeah… that was worth every single eyebrow raise.”
