Synergy & Kin Collective was originally founded by Susie Kidner and Katy Osborne. Two friends united by a shared belief that events have the power to build trust, strengthen relationships, and elevate a brand’s impact.
As the business has evolved, so have the roles within it.
Today, Synergy & Kin is led by Susie, with Katy supporting in a collaborative capacity, bringing her expertise from both large-scale and private event experiences. Together, they create a powerful balance of strategy, creativity, and real-world insight.
The name itself reflects the foundation and the future of the business:
"Synergy" - representing the strength of collaboration and the idea that great outcomes are achieved when the right skills come together with purpose.
"Kin" - symbolising connection, community, and the relationships at the heart of every meaningful event.
While the business is driven day-to-day by Susie, the collective approach enables Synergy & Kin to bring diverse expertise together where it adds the most value. Delivering thoughtful, strategic and impactful events for financial services professionals and businesses across the UK.
