STRONGER TOGETHER | THE FULL STORY 🎗️

Over the last few weeks, we’ve shared three parts of Tim’s story: the uncertainty of life after service, the turning point one conversation created and the new purpose he found through work and community.

Now, we’re sharing his story in full.

For Tim, the next chapter meant investing in his own coffee pod and creating a working environment where conversations could happen and others from the Armed Forces community could feel welcome.

A 2024 survey of almost 5,000 veterans found that 63% would be more likely to seek help if they knew they would receive veteran-informed support. It’s a reminder of how important it is to create spaces where people feel understood and able to talk.

The route forward will look different for everyone. It might mean finding employment, learning new skills, building a business or simply finding people who understand.

For Tim, it began with a conversation and became a new life built on his own terms.

Your purpose doesn’t end when your service does.

Ready for change? Live your best life...whatever that looks like for you.

Back to school and catering is officially on the move at Pocklington School 📚

The school has added its very own mobile catering unit, serving students, staff and visitors with snacks and drinks while helping to fuel sporting departments and events across the campus.

As one of the first BC Trailers to leave our workshop, we couldn’t be happier with the result. A flexible new space designed to bring great catering wherever it’s needed.

We had a brilliant day completing the handover. Thank you to the team at Pocklington School! 💙

PART 3 | NEW PURPOSE

What began as a conversation has become a community hub, a place where people can meet, open up and feel understood.

It’s an honour to share how Tim found a way forward and is now able to listen, offer encouragement and inspire others navigating life after service.

Through its regular meetings, GEO & LISA gives veterans and their families a supportive space to share experiences, build connections and face the challenges of post-service life together.

Because life after service can be better and nobody should have to navigate it alone.

PART 2 | THE TURNING POINT

That conversation became a turning point for Tim.

It led him to invest in his own mobile coffee conversion, train as a barista and create a space where fellow veterans and the wider community could connect.

Now, every cup he serves is an opportunity to encourage others, share experiences and give something back.

Watch how Tim’s pod became more than just a business...

International Coffee Day is a week today, and if we were behind the counter, we’d be making a day of it! ☕️

It doesn’t have to be anything huge. Just a little reason to bring people together over a coffee.

If you’ve got a coffee business, how are you celebrating?👇

Turns out, the grass IS in fact greener💚

Having owned and ran Cappuchino Coffee for the past four years, Emily and Corey now have their very own Premium Coffee Pod to take their business plans even further.

What if going mobile is for the better? Finding out is all part of the journey. Watch this space as they take Éire further afield, starting with expanding their running club into new locations🏃☕️

And can we take a moment for that Gaelic-patterned splashback? 😍

PART 1 | LIFE AFTER SERVICE

When service ends, what comes next?

For many, leaving the Armed Forces means stepping away from the life they’ve always known and into an unfamiliar future.

For Tim, one conversation at a coffee pod opened up a new opportunity...

Before vs After✨

Roam & Sip's Apé Stand-Inside/Internal Vend sprayed in Oyster White.

With 10 years of barista experience behind him, Luke is now making it on his own. Starting a new journey built around slowing down, enjoying the pause and drinking great coffee☕️

We’re obsessed with the interior of this one, with the oak-effect slatted walls, walnut countertops and our brand-new STRADA coffee machine taking centre stage.

All the best to you & Laura!

Su***de Prevention Month🎗️

To raise awareness, we’ve partnered with Hull4Heroes on a campaign highlighting how open conversation and shared experiences can help veterans feel less alone.

Hull4Heroes have recently introduced Mental Health First Aid into its training programme, strengthening the support available to its members and the wider Armed Forces community. The aim is to create a space where people can open up with confidence, knowing they will be listened to by those who understand.

At The Big Coffee, we believe the spaces we create can offer far more than coffee. They can bring people together and open up honest conversations. Because sometimes, one conversation can change everything.

Over the next week, we’ll be sharing a three-part story about life after service and the uncertainty of what comes next. How one conversation can create a turning point, and the different ways people can rediscover purpose and connection.

Please join us in supporting Hull4Heroes by sharing this campaign🩵💜
