Blue Bear Coffee - Expert Impact

Bryn Frere-Smith,

Blue Bear Coffee

Met with Jim Cregan

Blue Bear Coffee Company sells speciality grade, single-origin coffee online and donates 100% of its profits to organisations fighting human trafficking and caring for its survivors.

It is the trading name of the Justice Business CIC, a social enterprise founded with two key principles.

The first is to raise financial support for effective organisations fighting human trafficking and caring for survivors.

The second is to raise awareness on the sad reality of the issue.

We do this by selling our brand of speciality single origin coffee, ethically sourced from across the developing world and selling it to consumers online and through wholesale partnerships.

I found my time with Jim encouraging and exciting. I am very grateful for his time and the lending library for making the introduction.
