Founded in 2001, Union Hand-Roasted Coffee is one of the UK’s largest speciality coffee roasters and suppliers. Union was the first UK company to link sustainable development with exceptional quality coffee through its pioneering business model Union Direct Trade, and remains a leader in this area. Union’s dedication to sourcing exceptional coffee dovetailed with the speciality coffee revolution, and the company has achieved significant year on year growth since foundation. In 2017, Union’s leadership in the area of sustainability was recognised when it won a Queen’s Award for Enterprise: Sustainable Development – one of the UK’s highest business accolades. Union has also won Best European Roaster in the Allegra European Coffee Awards for three consecutive years between 2014-2016, as well as numerous Great Taste Awards over the years. Union coffee is available at high-end cafes, coffee shops and restaurants, in Waitrose and Ocado, and through the Union website.
