We’re Ciaran Thornley and Kieran Artus, the founders of Evolve Stays — one of the fastest growing Airbnb businesses in the UK.
In August 2023, we started with nothing but drive and two rent-to-rent properties. By January 2024, we had three units. By May, we’d hit 17 units and quit our jobs in recruitment to go all-in. Fast forward just 18 months, and we now manage 75+ Airbnb units with a full team, including Ciaran’s mum who works in the business full-time. We’re on track to 120+ properties by the end of 2025.
We didn’t come from money or property backgrounds. We’ve made mistakes, lost money, and learned the hard way, but we figured out what works, built systems to scale fast, and now run a multi-million-pound operation.
Now, through Bnb Playbook, we’re sharing everything we wish we had when we started. Giving you the exact strategies and processes that got us here. If two lads from Manchester can do it, so can you.
