I would like to thank everyone who helped Coffee Nation on its way from the very early days through to the sale of the company in 2008 and beyond.

To our customer organisations – Welcome Break, ChevronTexaco, Tesco, Moto, Somerfield, Esso, Sainsbury & Malthurst Pace – thank you for choosing Coffee Nation and becoming our long-term partners.

To our suppliers – thank you for your unflinching support and loyalty over many years – I know we were demanding and a little difficult at times.

To the millions of loyal Coffee Nation customers across the UK – a huge thank you for trying our coffee and then coming back so many times. Thank you for telling us when we got it right and an even bigger thank you to those of you that told us when we got it wrong.

And finally, to our team, without whom my vision would have remained just that. It was through the combined enthusiasm, energy, talent, dedication, long hours and sheer determination of you all that we built something to be proud of. We shared many highs and a few lows along the way. Thank you to you all.
