FINDING THE RIGHT SOURCE

Lincoln & York's directors, Simon Herring and James Sweeting, have a long background in coffee trading.

Prior to founding the company in 1992 they built up relationships with growers in most coffee-producing countries, and have continued to add to those associations with regular visits to identify new sources.

As part of these relationships, the company have paid close attention to the social, environmental and economic impact that coffee-growing has on the local communities, ensuring wherever possible that producers receive a fair price, working conditions are acceptable, and the business is sustainable.

As a roaster specialising in private label production, Lincoln & York creates coffee products for a wide variety of different clients in different markets and with individual requirements, and therefore use coffee from an equally wide variety of sources around the world to develop customised as well as stock products.

Lincoln & York has a pro-active and innovative green coffee sourcing operation and is continuously adding to the list of Farmers and Cooperatives with whom we have ongoing relationships.
