Cafe2U Franchisee Testimonials
28th January 2008 - Cafe2U
I was looking for a career change, something completely different to what I’d been doing - I was a printer for twenty years. Being obsessed with coffee, I was looking for something like Cafe2U.
Working for myself is like a breath of fresh air. The pressures and stresses are different to my old job. Now I get out of bed for me, not someone else that didn’t care less about whether I was happy or not. I’m Ian Holmes from Cafe2U now. Not clock number 097. When I work hard now, it’s me that benefits. This has been reflected by winning three awards in two years – the proudest has to be Cafe2U Franchisee of the Year 2007.
The feeling I get from Cafe2U is that it’s more of a family than a franchise. I can pick up the phone at any time, chat about any problems I’m having. And any that I do are quickly dealt with. I never feel alone. It’s also good to know that all the guys at Cafe2U are as passionate about coffee as me.
Ian – Cafe2U Granary Wharf, Leeds
We’ve always wanted to run our own business. Our initial thoughts were to set up a coffee shop in our home town of Brighouse, Yorkshire. Realising there was a definite gap in the market; we searched for the right location but had no luck and found the costs prohibitive.
Cafe2U caught our attention and immediately the benefits of being mobile and having lower overheads encouraged us to go for it. We came from different backgrounds but we knew we could conquer the art of making great coffee. Being mobile means we can work when we want and where we want, and being our own boss at the same time. We are known as the Barista sisters!
