The burgeoning UK specialty coffee market
About this episode
On the podcast this week, we’re hitting the streets of the UK to discover what’s happening across the nation’s fast-growing specialty coffee market.
From London to Birmingham, Edinburgh and beyond, the specialty segment has seen remarkable growth in the 20 years since coffee consumption exploded across the UK high streets.
To find out what’s next for this exciting market and the challenges and opportunities for independent multi-site operators in different regions, we speak with Roland Horne, Founder and CEO, WatchHouse, Will Kenney, Commercial Director, 200 Degrees, and John Thompson, Co-owner, Artisan Roast.
