Coffee specialist Çömlek joins Grazing

Grazing has announced significant investment in its coffee offer through the appointment of a new head barista. It has also begun a new collaboration with Redemption Roasters, which works to reduce reoffending through coffee.

Orçun Çömlek previously worked as head barista at the Daisy Green Collection’s Paradise Green site in the City and at Cofx. He will oversee training and support of the Grazing team and the company’s coffee offer.

The delivered-in office and venue catering specialist has also opened a new coffee bar at a client site in King’s Cross, introducing Redemption Coffee to enhance its services. Grazing will serve Redemption’s own brand coffees including The Block, The Yard and The Wing, roasted at HMP the Mount. 

Çömlek said: “It is really amazing working in the Grazing family and I’ve really been able to put my coffee knowledge to best use. Since my first day, CEO Sam Hurst has supported me and encouraged me to bring my ideas to the table. We try to be ahead of the trends, as well as provide the best coffee and service to our customers, which is a real motivator. 

Fran Coombe, senior sales manager for Redemption Roasters, added: “It has been great working with the team at Grazing. From the beginning, Sam and Orcun understood the importance of a strong partnership between caterer and coffee supplier. They have been a joy to work with.”
