He also knows a lot about coffee from his masters in Economics from Durham University looking at Fair Trade Coffee Producers to helping set up cafes. Add to that he has worked with those with convictions both inside prison and outside. Plus he has a lot of charity experience from working with them, advising them and being a trustee. He really wants to see people full of hope using their talents in the right way and reach their potential!
