Independent specialty coffee roasters, 200 Degrees Coffee, has announced the appointment of Charlotte Coore as the group’s new head of people. In her new role, Coore will be leading the business’ HR department.
The news comes as 200 Degrees, which operates 17 coffee shops across England and Wales, has recently reached 200 team members during its 10th anniversary in business. The group’s expansion strategy also includes plans to open five new coffee shops each year.
In addition, Coore will also be supporting the employee journey and experience at 200 Degrees, from attraction and onboarding through to learning and development, rewards and equality and diversity.
Coore said: “200 Degrees is a team-centred business which has an ambitious growth and innovation strategy, so it’s a really exciting time to be joining.
“With growth comes much opportunity and given the current job market, it is important to continue to champion 200 Degrees’ culture and values, as well as continuing our investment into our skilled team.”
Rob Darby, CEO of 200 Degrees, said: “I was given a great piece of advice a long time ago to invest in the very best people and that advice has paid dividends since Tom Vincent and I started the business 10 years ago. Charlotte is a wonderful example of this, and we are all really pleased to welcome her to the 200 Degrees family.
“We are lucky to have a tight knit and committed team ethos. As we continue to expand, we want to make sure we are doing everything we can to ensure all our people at 200 Degrees have the same great experience.”
He added: “Hospitality is a fantastic industry to build a career in and we put a lot of focus and thought into recruiting and retaining staff, so we’re always keen to learn more about what we can do to optimise our working culture.”
