Charlie’s Coffee & Company

Charlie’s Coffee and Company was established in 2008 by barista, Charlie, who wanted to bring great coffee to the people of St. Albans and achieve her dream of opening a café. From the back of a three-wheeled Piaggio van, Charlie began serving speciality coffee to the early risers at St Albans train station. A decade on, the coffee van is in the same place serving commuters and community alike, but Charlie also has a coffee shop to cope with demand.

It was important to her that waste generated by her independent coffee shop was managed sustainably – ensuring as few as possible resources end up in landfill. Cawleys partnered with Charlie’s Coffee and Company to recycle coffee grounds generated by her shop and […]

It is a showcase for the UK’s construction industry, including tall building design. But most of all, Canary Wharf is the home and place of work for 112,000 people. It has over 300 shops, cafés, bars and restaurants, and a stunning venue, the East Wintergarden, where more than 100 performing arts and events are put on every year.
