In 2015, Gareth met Tim through a mutual friend. Tim had begun his roasting career at Modern Standard, moving on to Caravan and Grind, before eventually switching to green coffee sales and logistics for Caravela. With a shared enthusiasm for specialty coffee, the pair joined forces and began roasting together in 2018.
The combination of Tim’s roasting and green coffee experience, combined with Gareth’s know-how in running a café business made for swift growth and, after initially roasting just enough to supply the Wood St Coffee café and some retail, they soon had requests for wholesale customers.
After working his way up from barista beginning's, George Bickersteth joined the team in 2019 and immediately showed an interest in roasting, eventually taking on the role of Head Of Coffee in 2023. George has transformed our sourcing and roasting and continues to develop our coffee offering year on year.
