After spending 16 years in Bermondsey, the company has now moved to new premises in Woolwich, along with a new roaster which will almost quadruple the company’s present coffee capacity.
The company has also recenrtly signed up to the London Living Wage scheme, which will see all employees paid at least £9.15 per hour.
The move enables the company to provide an advanced barista training room, dedicated sales showroom and an improved engineering workshop.
The new 300kg Brambati batch roaster can roast up to 2,000 tonnes of coffee per annum and Drury has also bought a 30kg roaster to harness the growth in small batch speciality and single origin coffees.
Marco Olmi, Drury director, said: “We already feel quite at home in our modern new premises and are delighted to have the space and facilities to grow our business. It means we are able to expand in all departments, particularly, of course, production.
“It has given us the opportunity to invest in our magnificent state-of-the-art new roaster, as we await the delivery of two further important pieces of equipment. Barista training is another key feature of our business and one we take very seriously indeed.
“We now have two barista training rooms and a fully operational showroom, where customers and their staff can get hands on with the equipment. All in all, the move will be an engine for growth over the coming decade and beyond.”
