ABOUT ROGER MCBRIDE
Coffee culture has most definitely taken root in the UK.I am confident that if you\'re here reading this: You love coffee and mediocre blend coffee sends a shiver down your spine, be it as a consumer or an independent outlet.Pretty much anywhere you go; you\'re faced with a choice of getting your coffee fix from a national chain or an independent.The national chains offer coffee blends designed to appeal to as many people as possible, which results in a non-distinct but consistent taste.Numerous surveys have been carried out throughout the UK, all of which show the majority of people who use the \'chains\' do so motivated by convenience or driven by their consistency. You know what you\'re getting.Independents have a tough job on their hands battling against all aspects of the \'chains\' from product to price, PR to proliferation.The Artisan Roast House is on the rise as a result of the demand and we are a huge advocate of keeping it local and are proud of our Manchester roots. When we are out and about talking to business owners, staff and most importantly the coffee drinkers, we hear time and time again the coffee from the artisans tastes different every time. Some seem to like this taste adventure but the majority find it frustrating which can then have a knock on effect for repeat trade.Since our launch is 2009 we have taken great care in developing high quality coffees to meet the difference in customer taste profiles. Our coffees offer a range from full bodied blends like our Continental Blend right through to Triple Certified and recently our Guatemala Antigua Single Origin. We have a great range of coffees and are confident in a consistent flavour every time.We do this so that we can focus our attention on you!We know our range of coffees will offer the same great taste consistently and that we can keep up with whatever demands our customers have, no matter what the volume. With all that control, it means we can spend our time helping you drive your sales, with marketing and brand support, local level personal service and generally taking the hassle out of your hot drinks offering. Be it equipment, product, or a full branded concept right down to the sugar sticks - we have it covered.\"Roger McBride - MD & Founder, Worker Bee Manchester
