News release - new Cafeology coffee bar
Southampton Solent University continues to show its commitment to Fairtrade by becoming the first UK University to welcome a 'Cafeology' coffee bar onto campus.
The ethical coffee bar is the result of a new partnership between Cafeology, a 100% Fairtrade company, and Aramark the University's contracted caterer.
Bryan Unkles, Managing Director of Cafeology said;
"The University and ARAMARK are showing that they take Fairtrade seriously. The hard work and effort put into the new Cafeology bar will ensure the ethical message of Fairtrade products will be carried across the University and beyond."
The first latte was served at an official opening ceremony – officiated by Dr Keith Johnson, Pro Vice Chancellor – External Development at Southampton Solent University, Bryan Unkles, Managing Director, Cafeology and Samantha Dormer from the Fairtrade Foundation - on Wednesday April 2 at 10.30am.
Nick Hayter the Group Manager for Aramark Ltd and Operations Manager Joanne Hooper are both excited at the partnership with Cafeology, and hope that this will be one of many Faitrade cafés to open at the Southampton Solent University.
Bryan Carroll, Southampton Solent University's Assistant Director of Estates & Facilities said;
"We are proud to be home to the first Cafeology on a university campus, which is particularly timely as we recently celebrated our first anniversary of 'Fairtrade University' status. The new café will continue to raise awareness of Fairtrade products among staff and students."
