Coffee Machine Journey.

Seeing as this is my first official post we better start at the beginning, The Royal Corp of Signals & my final day with the British Army.

It was the summer of 2012 & I left the camp gates for the last time after a decade of service for her Majesty’s armed forces, after 12 months of resettlement training I was set to return to the electrical Industry & thoughts of coffee or starting a company in Wiltshire in this industry could not have been further from my imagination.

Growing up in a house were coffee was instant & only appeared if we ran out of tea bags, my mind was opened & blown when in a failed attempt to obtain a mortgage due to my self employed status, I was forced into looking for permanent work & I found it in the form of a technical role based along the M4 for a national service provider.

My role was to install & un-install commercial coffee machines at every major airport & train station from Cardiff to Gatwick along with the major stations in London. Naturally my technical knowledge of the Industry & machinery grew, so combining this with the procedures & core values from the military (alongside some pretty big support from a friend) we converted an outbuilding into a functioning workshop in Warminster Wiltshire for the sole purpose of servicing a section of a national coffee companies espresso machines.

Fast forward 8 years & we now have a vast knowledge on all types of coffee machines, from multi boiler pressure profiling commercial coffee machines to high end prosumer espresso machines for your home. We handle barista training alongside white glove delivery for the major distributors in the UK & we work with the best speciality coffee roasters in the business.

The Coffee Lobby Ltd is now in its 3rd workshop / showroom, we have survived the pandemic & Covid 19 restrictions & we are excited for our future.
