Meet The Team

“With over 25 years working in the coffee industry, I have loved every second and every cup!

I am a passionate about sustainability and innovation. As a co-founder of Social Impact Coffee, I am dedicated to decarbonizing our supply chain and ensuring that every cup of coffee contributes to a better world.

​

My journey in the coffee industry began with a deep fascination for the science and art required to produce the perfect cup it still excites me as much each and every day and brew.

​

Driven by a love for the art and science behind a great cup of coffee, I believe in the power of coffee to bring people together and make a positive difference. Under my leadership, Social Impact Coffee not only delivers exceptional specialty coffee but also supports numerous social and environmental initiatives.”

‘’I’m a people-first coffee professional with over 20 years of experience in specialty coffee, building my career at the intersection of craft, training, and leadership. From the bar to strategic roles, I’ve developed a deep understanding of what it takes to create not just great coffee, but high-performing, motivated teams.

​

I specialise in training, development, and coaching—bringing structure, clarity, and direction to the way people learn and grow. My approach is focused on empowering individuals with the right tools, systems, and mindset to succeed, whether that’s mastering technical skills or stepping into leadership with confidence.

​

At the core of my work is a belief that strong culture drives strong businesses. I’m passionate about shaping environments where people feel supported, challenged, and inspired. When individuals thrive, teams perform better, and the impact is lasting.’’

"I’ve spent the past 10 years in the coffee industry, starting out as a barista and café manager before moving into training and mentoring. As an Authorised Specialty Coffee Trainer (AST), I’m passionate about helping baristas build confidence, develop and master their craft, all in pursuit to make better coffees that will help support local communities and charities. 

​At home, you’ll usually find me brewing a fruity, funky natural on my V60 and nerding out over flavour notes with my favourite audience—my 2 cats."

“With over thirty years in the Hospitality industry working for some of the largest hotel and catering companies, I realised there was an opportunity to create a business that has a real impact environmentally, socially and economically.

Driven by a desire to create a more equitable and sustainable coffee industry, we bridge the gap between delicious coffee and positive social impact, with the transparency of being a regulated community interest company.

Great coffee with 65% of our profit going to community charities, something as simple as a cup of coffee can make a huge difference.”

“Coffee is about the science, the craft, the flavours… but it’s especially about people! Behind every great coffee there is always a great story, a beautiful place, and amazing people that make that happen!”

“Coffee is an amazing industry to be a part of, constantly evolving to bring new innovation to consumers, and finding creative ways to overcome challenges, especially in global supply chains over recent years. Joining the team at Social Impact Coffee has allowed me the opportunity to play a part in making coffee a force for good here in the UK.

I’ve been fortunate to enjoy a career in the coffee world for 15 years and counting. My current role as Sales Director is to ensure we remain competitive in the market, providing our customers the products and services they require, while delivering long-term commercial sustainability for our business. I’m proud to lead the amazing sales & marketing team here at Social Impact Coffee.

And remember…the more coffee you buy the more impact we can have together!”
