Esquires Coffee
"In 2000, Esquires Coffee, with its roots firmly established in Vancouver, established a presence in both the UK and Ireland. A critical decision for the company was to select the right coffee partners who shared the same passion, ethos and values in terms of quality, sustainability and great tasting coffee. After extensive research, we chose Matthew Algie as our coffee partners and 20 years on the guiding principles that led us to this decision continues to this day. From their state of the art roastery with cutting edge technology and the sustainability programmes they operate through their Fairtrade and Organic principles that produce such amazing bespoke blends for Esquires right through to their expertise on the ground to all our outlets is a crucial factor in our ongoing success in the marketplaces we operate in."
Tony McVerry, Managing Director (Ireland and Europe)
Glasgow Science Centre
"We already have a strong relationship with the John Muir Trust here at the Glasgow Science Centre. In fact, they have staff who work within the building. Therefore, when we started to hear the story behind Peak & Wild, we just knew it was the perfect fit. It wasn’t simply the coffee that led us to work with Matthew Algie. We needed a partner that would deliver a true end-to-end service. We needed top-quality equipment, reliable engineers and sales staff and someone at the end of the phone in case any issues arise. Matthew Algie could provide all of these. Plus, the training support on offer is fantastic. It’ll be great to send each new member of staff onto one of the Matthew Algie training courses to ensure we serve consistently great tasting coffee to our customers."
Richy Kenny, Catering General Manager
The Apiary @ Dalwhinnie
"We love all three blends of the Peak & Wild range and wanted to incorporate them into our coffee offering. As Bracken grows in the Spring, we have served the Bracken blend through the Spring months. At the moment, we are serving the Santa Izabel single origin in the Summer. As Bramble grows in the Winter, we follow the seasonality of the plants through our coffee and will look to bring this in around October. The quality of the coffee does get complimented. We get amazing feedback and reviews on Google. We serve great coffee, not just a good coffee (even to the standards of coffee snobs). Our customers have commented on the changing seasonal coffee and enjoy the variation in flavour profiles and trying something new. "
