SO Coffee Blogs

SO Coffee has successfully secured a multi-year contract with the private hospital, St Joseph's.

Founded in 1946 with over 75 years of history, St Josephs became privately owned in 2014, now welcoming over 20,000 patients per year. Patients, employees, and visitors of St Joseph's can now enjoy premium hot beverages while waiting for appointments at the hospital.

Following months of preparation, Scott Otten, Company Director expressed,

"It has always been our mission to play a part of people's journey."

"Upon engaging with St Joseph's to explore their hot drink offerings, it became evident that delivering a high quality service, premium products, and the care and comfort of their patients were of utmost importance and priority."

"We are honoured to have been entrusted with this opportunity to provide this service and to align with St Joseph's focus on enhancing the experience of their patients and visitors"

"We have successfully initiated phase 1 by introducing our house-blend Olympus coffee beans in the café area and installing the first of four rhTT1.v+ bean-to-cup coffee machines on the premises"

"Entering the private healthcare is a huge milestone for SO Coffee, offering new opportunity, exposure and contribute to the well-being of patients and staff through high-quality coffee experiences."

Phase 2 of this partnership has officially begun, with the installation of three new bean-to-cup coffee machines set to take place in the patient wards over the next few weeks, alongside the launch of new products in the market, yet to be announced.

St Joseph's supply chain manager, Rhys Jones said;

“At St Joseph's Hospital, patient experience is at the heart of everything we do. Recently, we’ve taken steps to enhance our services, particularly in our waiting areas, where we recognised the need for quality refreshments. After careful consideration, we partnered with SO Coffee to bring the finest coffee to our patients and visitors.

SO Coffee have brought a wealth of expertise and a commitment to premium products, helping us create a bespoke coffee service tailored to our patient’s needs. We are excited to continue working with SO Coffee to deliver the best possible experience for everyone at St Joseph's Hospital”

SO Coffee will not only provide the finest ingredients for each cup of coffee but will also collaborate closely with the St Joseph's team on community engagement, sustainability initiatives and to ensure a patient-centred environment.
