Bear Faced Coffee

Meet Andrew Ingleby, who left a secure career behind to pursue a long-held ambition of running his own specialty coffee business. Serving high-quality coffee with a simple approach and a friendly welcome, Bear Faced Coffee is already gaining momentum through regular customers and events.

With support from Hayley at Durham Startups, Andrew received guidance on budgeting, tax and grant applications as he navigated the early months of trading. “I’d rather regret trying it than regret not giving it a go.”
