Episode description

The story of Jimmy’s Iced Coffee is a 10 year journey of massive wins, starting on the South Coast and earning its place as a household name. A great degree of the success of this family owned business might be explained by an almost-telepathic understanding between the brother and sister pairing of Suzie and Jim Cregan (Yes, Jim as in Jimmy’s). 

From the inception of the idea from Jim’s experience in Australia, right through to the established brand we know today with high caliber ambassadors like Dame Judi Dench, the story is one of nurturing a culture with no hierarchy, and supporting each other through thick and thin. Discover the animated duo’s incredible story on the next episode of It Runs In The Family.

This episode covers:

  • The opportunities unlocked by having a “yes” attitude to life
  • Keeping the business thriving through the loss of their father
  • Not having a hierarchy in the business and chipping in everywhere
  • The story behind Jim and Suze’s massive Selfridges win
  • Balancing business and family life, and covering for each other
  • Having a ‘Take 24’ approach to big decisions
  • Learning when to say no and look after yourself first
