We’re excited to announce a brand-new partnership with the University of Brighton, bringing our freshly roasted, planet-conscious coffee to three venues run by the Student’s Union. As a proud Brighton-based, independent family-run roastery, we couldn’t be more thrilled to share our love for great coffee with the university community!
Starting this academic term, you can find Trading Post Coffee in three buzzing spots across the Moulsecoomb and Falmer campuses: The Venue, The Hive, and Basement Central. Whether you're a student rushing to a lecture, a staff member needing a mid-day pick-me-up, or a visitor exploring the campus, we’ve got just the brew to brighten your day.
What Makes Our Coffee Special?
Ethically Sourced Beans: We take pride in sourcing our coffee from sustainable farms worldwide. This ensures not only exceptional taste but also supports ethical practices and environmental stewardship.
Freshly Roasted Goodness: Our beans are roasted locally in small batches right here in Brighton. This means you’re always getting the freshest, most flavourful coffee possible.
Organic Choices: We’re excited to feature our Green Monkey Organic blend, certified organic by the Soil Association, as a part of this collaboration. It’s a delicious, eco-friendly option you can feel good about.
Something for Everyone: From espressos to lattes, cappuccinos to cold brews, our menu is designed to cater to all coffee lovers. We’re also mindful of different dietary needs, ensuring the coffee you’re served across the Brighton SU sites work perfectly with a variety of milk alternatives and more.
A Community-Focused Initiative
This partnership is about more than just coffee. It’s a celebration of our shared commitment to community, sustainability, and supporting local businesses. Together with the Brighton University Students' Union, we’re looking to create vibrant and welcoming spaces where everyone can come together, enjoy great coffee, and connect.
"We are thrilled to partner with the Brighton University Students' Union, aligning with their commitment to quality, sustainability, and student satisfaction," says Ryan Deol, Head of Wholesale for Trading Post Coffee Roasters. "We believe this collaboration will create a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere across the campus coffee houses, enhancing the overall university experience."
Justin Brentnall, Director of Commercial Services at Brighton’s Student Union says “Brighton Students’ Union is delighted to be introducing Trading Post Coffee into our three café and bar spaces on the University of Brighton’s Moulsecoomb and Falmer campus when our outlets reopen for Freshers Week. After a significant tender process, we were thrilled to find a local organisation that not only provides the highest quality coffee but does this in a sustainable and ethical way in line with the values of Brighton Students’ Union. Trading Post will be recognisable to Brighton students with popular coffee shops located in areas such as Brighton Station and The North Laine. We will also be reducing the price point of our new hot drink range so that it is more affordable, especially in light of the current cost of living crisis. We can’t wait to start serving!”
We can’t wait to start this journey with you all. Keep an eye out for our special launch events and promotions. Here’s to great coffee, meaningful connections, and a greener planet.
