mmm! Coffee Comes to Somerset and Bath

mmm! Coffee Ltd the only coffee and drinks franchise business in the UK today specialising in the events market, announced they have a new franchise partner in the Somerset and Bath area.

Led by business owner Maree Stephens, based in Gloucestershire, mmm! Coffee has been working across the country for 3 years providing a first class coffee and drinks service at outdoor and indoor events. 

mmm! Coffee’s newest franchise partner David Eckett, a secondary school teacher, said, “I am really looking forward to the challenges and opportunities that operating and developing a mmm! Coffee franchise will present.

“Although the working environment will be totally different from the world of education, I believe that the skills and experience I have acquired throughout my 25 year career working in schools will be vital to the successful running of the business.

“I enjoy working in busy, target driven, customer focused settings where I can work both independently and as part of a team. I will be attending various events such as fairs, country shows, markets, exhibitions and sports fixtures and this will require me to meet lots of interesting people, which I will enjoy.

Not only do I appreciate good quality coffee, but I have always harboured an ambition to run my own business. Having the support of the successful and friendly mmm! Coffee team gives me huge confidence when planning to develop and establish the brand across Somerset. An important aspect of this type of franchise is its flexibility, I can continue in my role at school whilst building the business at weekends and during school holidays, the best of both worlds!

We are excited and thrilled to expand the brand’s presence into Somerset and Bath and delighted to welcome David on-board. David will continue to work on a part time basis as a local school teacher whilst he builds his events coffee and drinks business in the area.” Maree Stephens, Director

In an effort to keep the brand fresh and competitive, mmm! Coffee offers flexible serving concepts ranging from a simple set up at the local football club to a full outdoor café experience at county shows. We have professionally converted and branded mobile espresso coffee vans, as well as a wide range of equipment in order to deliver our drinks service at almost any outdoor or indoor location.

Our secret to continued growth includes passionate franchisees that provide a high level of service to their customers regardless of the size of the event.
