Business Development Manager
Pact
Who we are:
Pact Coffee is all about making coffee a force for good. We source specialty coffee, which we roast and grind then deliver the results to homes, offices, cafés, and hotels across the country. We were founded on the principle that businesses should do good, by doing well.
How do we make coffee a force for good? With a 100% commitment to direct trade, and an investment and training programme that helps farmers change their lives for the better. By paying coffee farmers an average of 60% above the Fairtrade baseline, we encourage farmers to strive for speciality grade crops - because it’s about quality, not charity.
What we do:
● Make coffee a force for good
● Source 100% speciality grade coffee
● Farmers get 60% above the Fairtrade base price on average
● Provide training and investment to budding coffee growers
● Roast our coffee no more than seven days before shipping
● Grind each bean on the day it’s sent out
● Have an energetic, collaborative approach to supporting the speciality coffee industry as a whole
