Conversations with the British Coffee Association in the Heart of Essex

Commodity Centre meets British Coffee Association
August 12, 2025

It’s not every day you get to share your passion for coffee - and your warehouse - with people who understand the industry best. Today, we gave Paul Rooke, Thomas de Freitas and Tracy Brown from the British Coffee Association a behind-the-scenes look inside our warehousing facility in Great Braxted in the heart of Essex.  

We toured our warehousing facilities, with the focus on our bulk coffee storage and handling, and tackled big industry topics - from the challenges of manually handling heavy jute speciality coffee bags from origin, to opportunities for closer collaboration and upcoming BCA events.  

Big thanks to the BCA team for visiting - we loved sharing what we do.
