Episode description

Before Starbucks in 1971 came the first coffee shop in 1919… and decades before that, Robert Stokes launched a brand which would span centuries.

Now under 4th generation leadership with great-grandson Nick, the Stokes Tea & Coffee brand is the perfect example of a family firm sticking to its roots, while moving with the times.

Nick joins us alongside Business Development Manager Emma Olivier-Townrow, to share how the legendary firm has taken on challenges never faced in its 132 year history…

This episode covers:

  • How Robert Stokes’ legacy has been passed down through the generations, shaping the business' evolution
  • The challenges and opportunities that arise when a new generation takes the helm 
  • The importance of balancing tradition and innovation
  • Creating a positive dynamic between family and non-family team members
  • Stokes’ resilience amid the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic
  • The delicate balance Stokes has struck between honoring its rich history and heritage, while embracing modern trends
