Nottingham-based 200 Degrees Coffee Roasters has announced that Paul Campbell has joined the company as Chair of the Board.
Campbell is the Founder and Owner of Hill Capital Partners, where he carries out advisory roles and private investment across the leisure and hospitality sectors.
Co-owner and CEO of 200 Degrees Coffee Rob Darby says having Campbell join the board is great news for 200 Degrees and is excited to be working with him.
“Paul has a wealth of experience in this sector, is likeminded to our approach, and has already been on that business growth journey very successfully, so is ideally placed to help us navigate that and thrive as we continue our own expansion,” says Darby.
“I’m a big believer in surrounding yourself with good people in life and in business and we are very pleased that Paul has chosen to be in the 200 Degrees team.”
Campbell says that he enjoys working with ambitious entrepreneurs, boards, and fellow investors who are looking to significantly expand their businesses.
“200 Degrees has a clear point of difference, a strategic growth strategy, and a sound management team that also align with my own values, so it’s a relationship that I’m pleased to be a part of,” he says.
200 Degrees has 15 independent coffee shops across the midlands and the north of England and barista schools within six of those locations.
The roasters provide a coffee at home and office subscription service and wholesale, supplying its beans to operators across the country.
“With the various elements of the business performing well, the coffee sector as a whole continuing to flourish and being led by a dynamic and entrepreneurial team, there are great prospects for 200 Degrees and I’m pleased to be able to help guide them on that journey,” says Campbell.
200 Degrees was established by Rob and his business partner Tom Vincent in 2012 and is based at its Roast House near Trent Bridge in Nottingham.
The company opened four new shops in 2021 and plans for further expansion in 2022.
