![]() ![]() ![]() Rory has two doubles, who take on his marketing responsibilities when he wants to dedicate himself to roasting and producing coffee. They all have a “double” or a “shadow”, which is someone from the staff that supports them in their job. Chris is still in charge of engineering, Rory is in charge of sales and marketing, and Kate is in charge of finance. When we asked Rory how things currently work at Bristol Twenty, he explained that initially, everyone did a bit of everything, but since they have better-allocated titles and responsibilities, as well as hired new members of staff. I wanted to help dad out with his business, planned on staying only 6 months. “I loved coffee anyway, but I wanted a quieter life and it gave me it. He decided to join the family business out of curiosity and, of course, because he wanted a quieter life, considering the long and exhausting hours he had been previously working. He had always loved his morning coffee, but never gave it further thought. It was long hours, and even if I liked working there, I was over it.”Īs incredible as it may sound, Rory’s relationship with coffee did not start with a spark, or because of an eye-opening cup of coffee. “Before I got into coffee, I ran restaurants for a few big chains in the UK and I did that for 6/7 years, then got to the point where I was burning out. Rory Ireland is Bristol Twenty’s Director and has been working for this company for almost 20 years. ![]()
