 |
HTA is arranging a tour of the Matthew Algie roastery and showroom in Glasgow on Wednesday 9 November.
With a growing range of food and drink options available in garden centres and the ever increasing popularity of café culture, it has never been more important to offer high quality hot beverages to entice your customers.
Matthew Algie have been brewing tea and coffee since 1864, leading the UK's espresso revolution and introducing the world's first triple-certified espresso. Around 90% of Matthew Algie’s coffee comes from Fairtrade co-operatives.
The day will start at 10.30 and finish at 3.30pm and will include an introduction to Matthew Algie, a roastery tour, coffee tasting, machines overview, introductory barista training and insights into how to engage customers at the point of sale. Lunch will be provided.
Dan Segal, National Account Manager at Matthew Algie said: “With 50% of garden centres now offering hot beverages and coffee consumers becoming ever more discerning, it has never been more important for garden centres to perfect the quality and choice of drinks on offer.
“At Matthew Algie, we don’t only roast some of the freshest, tastiest most ethical coffee around, we also provide all the supporting products and critical insights needed to run a highly profitable hot beverage business. We look forward to welcoming HTA members to our roastery and ultimately, helping you to increase sales."
The tour will be hosted by Neil Cummings, HTA Regional Business Manager for Scotland.
Neil said, “Catering has become a fundamental part of the success of garden centres today and many customers rate the quality of the tea and coffee and all round food offer as a reason for repeat business. This day is targeted at key decision makers, restaurant managers and key staff involved with the preparation and serving of hot drinks.“
