Tom Sobey
Tom, from Helston in Cornwall, has over 10 years experience in coffee – in fact coffee runs in his family. Origin was Tom’s brainchild and was born out of a long running love of coffee, a trip to Australia and a desire to give people great tasting coffee that also gave something back to the environment in which it’s grown.
Tom has grown Origin Coffee into a thriving business that has become synonymous with Cornish Coffee culture. This was recognised recently when Sobey scooped The Hub Entrepreneur of the year award in 2006.
The company now employs 15 people and has earned itself an enviable reputation with the acquisition of some prestigious clients such as the ‘Fifteen’ restaurants in London and Cornwall as well as Rick Stein’s restaurant’s in Padstow & now me!!
