What Chartley Coffee does

Chartley Coffee is a privately held, family-owned B2B coffee roastery based in Hixon, Staffordshire, United Kingdom. The company roasts and supplies bespoke and stock whole bean and ground coffees, espresso machines and grinders, and a range of ancillary café products (teas, sugar sticks, biscuits, cups, hot chocolates, frappe), and additionally delivers barista and coffee training services. Described as a second-generation family business with decades of experience, Chartley operates from a single headquarters at 22 Jupiter Business Park and was founded with a 2015 copyright date on its website.

The core technical approach pairs hand roasting on vintage roasters with state-of-the-art packing facilities, producing a deliberately traditional craft positioning. Training is delivered in the UK by Owain Antcliff and has been extended internationally through a curriculum-mirroring partnership with Campus Coffee Education & Training in China, where senior graduates Mr Mak and Mr Mai were trained in the UK; Chartley operates an online certificate validation tool on its website to authenticate those credentials. The business is described as serving both small and large customers across the UK via direct sales and partnerships with coffee buyers.

Revenue is generated through one-time product sales of coffee, equipment and ancillary items, and through professional-services revenue from training, with pricing kept quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and field-based, combining enterprise partnerships with coffee buyers and direct SMB engagement, supported by a basic company website and direct phone and email contact rather than an e-commerce storefront, social media presence, or app. The company has no disclosed investors, no parent organization, no subsidiaries, no funding rounds, no headcount disclosure, and no revenue figure available in the source material.
