What is Kindred Collective?
Kindred Spirits was the original whatsapp thread created by Duppy Share in 2018 - and over the years, it's become a driving force for collaboration and cooperation in the UK's independent drinks industry. 

The group is founded upon the belief that together we are stronger, and that our fellow independents are better friends than competitors. 

"Kindred Collective" is our offering to formalise the group under a business and brand (Kindred Spirits was taken). By moving to a low monthly fee, we are funding resouce to continue offering the network and excellent products and services without distracting from our main jobs of running Duppy Share. 

There are no official "community guidelines", but we encourage:
1. Contribution to the conversation
2. Transparency and openness to sharing insights and partners
3. Don't be too salesy - ask for help, offer opportunities, share your insights  
4. Don't be a D*ck - it's not a place to be calling out other brands and badmouthing each other
5. Keep it confidential - what happens on Kindred chats should stay there, and not weaponised in your decks, trade meetings and sales pitches

What can you expect from Kindred Collective?
1. A vibrant and supportive Community of your peers
2. Access to the Kindred Buying Groups
3. A database of Kindred Members
4. Access to the Kindred Collective Website for supplier ratings and reviews
5. Access to the annual Kindred Awards Show 
6. Input and access to the quarterly CGA Kindred Survey
7. Meet Ups and Kindred Events
8. Access to partner rates on products and services, with Kindred discounts and offers

Happy collaborating!
