About the author
JACK HARRISON (or Coffee Jack to his colleagues) was one of the first operators in the UK to see the untapped opportunities in the outdoor event market for real coffee and has since become an authority on the UKs mobile coffee scene. Since 1981 when he built his first mobile cappuccino bar, he has attended over 400 of the most prestigious shows and events in the UK such as THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES, PGA GOLF, T IN THE PARK,TALL SHIP RACES, BLAIR HORSE TRIALS, INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF THE SEA,SCOTTISH GAME FAIR AND GLASTONBURY.
As well as high profile events, he has explored many smaller shows that have needed a high quality real coffee outlet and realised that there is tremendous scope for anyone wanting to set up and run a mobile coffee business wherever there is a gathering of people. Over the last 30 years as a professional chef, he has owned and operated a Breton Creperie, an upmarket fine dining restaurant, a community café and a Gastro Pub. His experience in the outdoor event market has seen him run several food led catering operations, the most recent and well know one being a giant American Airstream trailer serving gourmet Lebanese wraps and excellent FAIRTRADE coffee. All of these businesses have had a strong emphasis on real coffee and reaped the rewards of its high profit margins. He now lives in the Midlands and still operates a mobile cappuccino bar and coffee supply service.
