Superb Analysis of the UK Coffee Market

A dramatic flourish of a hat tip to Gavin Chatterton for spotting this terrific resource for business & economics teachers - the latest analysis of the UK coffee shop market from the specialist researchers in this segment - Allegra Strategies…

Here is the link to the Telegraph article which reports on the latest coffee market data.

As Gavin points out, the article looks good for a starter discussion perhaps around market saturation, growth, forecasts, potential for diversification. Perhaps also as an excuse to get the kids to buy you a latte?

I have been researching the coffee industry for our BUSS4 revision workshops and came across this interesting perspective on the strategic success of the leading UK coffee chains.  It analyses what Britain’s declining pub sector can learn from the way in which coffee shops meet the needs and wants of customers.
