Fairacres Group began with Mike Kean’s father making boiled sweets. Decades later, it’s an icon on the South Coast with its roles in property, hospitality and a legendary ferry.
The business, much like Mike himself, is being brought into the new generation by his daughter Rosie, and the story behind the succession is a charming tale of responsibility and reinvention!
Join Rosie and Mike as they share the journey with us on It Runs In The Family…

- Generational perspectives on business, and how Rosie’s helped introduce ideas around diversity, inclusion, and work-life balance
- Fairacres Group’s evolution from making boiled sweets to managing a ferry, hospitality, and property
