__________________________________________________________________________________________________ Lincoln & York
Having just surpassed 30 years in business, it’ s clear that Lincoln & York is well-positioned for many more decades of success. By upholding its core values and the passion with which it was established, the company is set to build further on its existing legacy, pioneering exciting new products and blends whilst making a real difference to coffee communities all over the world.
“ We have four values that we live by every day – those are Teamwork, Accountability, Trust and Discretion, and Fun. We’ re a very honest and down-to-earth bunch, which I think really resonates with our customers. We still have the same shareholders within the business who have been the driving force behind us doing things properly and being so successful,” Ian reveals.“ If we lose sight of our customers, they will buy their coffee
from someone else, so there’ ll never be any complacency within our business. Because of this, we’ ve built many long-term trusted partnerships with our customers, some of which span over 20 years.
“ Looking ahead, we want to be a £ 100-million business by the end of 2030 and increase our volume by 50 percent,” he concludes, optimistic for the future.“ That growth is going to be driven by continued investment into our factory and our people. As long as we continue to do that, we’ re confident that we’ ll have the quality, flexibility, and scalability to generate new opportunities to supply everything that our customers could need.” ■
