From coffee roasters and food & beverage providers to packaging and equipment manufacturers, the multi-billion dollar coffee industry is packed with supplier categories. In a crowded marketplace where suppliers are constantly vying for buyers’ attention, the stakes for winning new business are higher than ever.

Both Aiden and Ian will also be participating in this year’s one-to-one meeting programme at the European Coffee Symposium in Berlin – an event designed to drive new connections and business development across the coffee industry.
