Housewares Business-to-business magazine for housewares retailers and their suppliers
Barista & Co Coffee Limited and FBA International are the latest housewares brands to join BHETA.
Based on the south coast, Barista & Co Coffee is a coffee company that takes influence from the way people live and drink. Founder James Gray was originally inspired to create the company while enjoying super sweet ca phe da coffee at a street coffee seller in Hanoi with girlfriend, Louise. The concept was that great coffee did not need to be complicated. With a career background in wine and consumer goods, James thought that fresh coffee, along with coffee makers, accessories and friendly advice should be made accessible for consumers so more people could enjoy a higher standard of coffee at home. With a background in sourcing for the likes of Selfridges and Waitrose, Louise joined the business in 2014 and brings a passion for ethical business and ensuring transparency in the supply chain.
Barista & Co can now be found in over thirty countries and in the UK, customers can enjoy Barista & Co coffee at home, work and play.
