About Us
Company Background / History
Founded by Oliver Broster, whose journey in the coffee industry spans back to 1994, Glorious Beans is a testament to years of passion and expertise. Oliver's career began at Truxo Coffee in Chiswell Street, where he honed his skills as a junior at an import house before embarking on a global coffee adventure that took him to the United States, Singapore, and Japan.
Returning to the UK with a wealth of experience and a burning entrepreneurial spirit, Oliver seized the opportunity to establish Glorious Beans in the fourth quarter of 2023. This pivotal moment marked the culmination of years of industry knowledge and a deep desire to deliver exceptional coffee to consumers.
From the outset, Glorious Beans has been buoyed by the unwavering support of the UK community and cherished relationships with suppliers and friends in coffee-producing countries. Their encouragement fuels our commitment to delivering quality and value, reinforcing our belief in the enduring importance of international trade, human connections, and long-term goals.
As a family business, we are committed to the long-term development and integrity of the brand. Quality, value, and integrity are core values that are deeply ingrained and never to be compromised.
Mission / Vision Statement
Our mission is to leverage our expertise to take care of the details—quality, logistics, roasting, and packaging—so that we can deliver an excellent quality product at a good value price, making our customers' lives simpler and more enjoyable.
Team / Staff
The entrepreneurial team behind Glorious Beans remains intentionally small, but we maintain a commitment to only working with highly professional individuals with high levels of integrity. We have strategically outsourced non-core functions to focus on our strengths and building our business.
