A roaster from Devon changing the UK´s attitude towards coffee

Lorraine Bridden has a science background and worked in the biotech industry before deciding to change direction in 2010. A small coffee business called Owens Coffee in Devon was up for grabs, and she took it over, but instead of operating the business as a run-of-the-mill roastery or coffee house, she opted for quality and ethical awareness – and in doing so, she recognised the signs of the times and built up a small coffee empire that is now known beyond the borders of Devon.
