A partnership is more than shared goals. It’s a shared vision. This is how we aligned with Mezepoli, Patron and Melrose Arch beyond the obvious.   On the first of September we curated the Italian Grand Prix screening at Melrose Arch, hosted by Patron and Mezepoli. It was more than just a screening.    The event was strategically designed to drive cocktail sales, with Mezepoli supplying the food and perfectly pairing their culinary offerings with Patron-crafted cocktails. It was a seamless example of how collaboration can amplify results—bringing a world-renowned spirit to life in a way that speaks directly to what people love and enjoy.   This is the power of collaboration. The outcome is a richer, more tailored experience that serves both parties—enhancing brand visibility while boosting sales. It’s in these spaces, where different strengths come together, that innovation thrives, and real connections are made.

The Power of Networking 🌐 One of the greatest career accelerators is building meaningful connections. Whether you’re just starting out or are a seasoned professional, the relationships you create can open doors to opportunities you may not have seen coming. Here’s what I’ve learned: Listen more than you speak: Everyone has a story and experience that can teach you something. Add value: Offer your help or insight before seeking something in return. Follow up: A simple “It was great meeting you” message can go a long way in maintaining connections. Let’s keep growing and learning from each other. 🤝 Karen Melonie Gould #Networking #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #BuildingConnections

Competitions are some of the most exciting and engaging events taking place in the coffee industry every year. Often drawing large crowds at trade shows and expos, coffee championships are big indicators of upcoming trends in the wider industry – and continue to pique our interest year after year. For the most part, barista competitions have been leading the way when it comes to innovation – especially the World Barista Championship. The flashiness and flamboyance of these championships are part of their huge appeal, with spectators eager to know which new and interesting coffees competitors are using. Over the past couple of years, however, there seems to have been a shift in the coffee competition scene – with more and more roasting championships being held. As well as Producer & Roaster Forum’s Global Coffee Roasting Contest taking place on 7 & 8 March in Guatemala, the most recent addition is MILKLAB’s Roaster Royale, which is offering the winner an origin trip and a significant cash prize. So are roasting championships becoming more popular, and what impact could this have on the coffee competition circuit? In today’s article, Tasmin Grant speaks to Tomas Serra, an Authorised Specialty Coffee Association Trainer, and Henry Wilson, founder of PRF, to find out more. #PerfectDailyGrind #CoffeeRoasting #CoffeeCompetitions 👉🏻 https://lnkd.in/d6zwcBd5
