PART ONE: Stick to what you do best
Coinadrink MD, Roger Williams
We’re thrilled to announce that Coinadrink has retained the Investors in People Gold standard, keeping us in the top 7% of accredited organisations across the UK who believe in realising the potential of their people.

Remember when we asked you to fill out a Customer Care survey and we promised we’d donate £5 to charity for every completed form? Well, if you took part, this is where the fiver you generated ended up…
You’ve probably never heard of Leigh’s Syndrome. It’s a rare inherited neurometabolic disorder, which affects the central nervous system.
Olivia is sixteen years old and if you click on the ‘Leigh’s syndrome’ link above, you’ll get some idea of what she has to live with; but be warned: it’s not, in any sense, an easy read just as hers is not, in any sense, an easy life…
Olivia loves her iPad 🙂
Coinadrink is delighted to welcome on board new recruits Samantha Woodhall and Tom Williams. Here’s the inside track on the new kids on the block…
Ask any manager in any discipline and they’ll all agree: a good team needs a mixture of youth and experience.
Most of our customers know that we ‘tick the box’ when it comes to experience. (You can read about our longest serving employee, Norma Graham, here and about how the list of eligible attendees for our annual Long Service Dinner keeps on growing here, for example).
But you may not know that recently, we’ve added a pinch of youth, energy and talent to our winning recipe, in the form of two new recruits, Sam Woodhall and Tom Williams, both of whom have long standing connections to Coinadrink.
Sam Woodhall
Remember what makes you happy.’ That’s how the song goes – but is that the reason Norma’s still on the payroll after almost 45 years?
When you’ve been in the job for as long as Norma Graham, you don’t need to be micro-managed. In fact, her colleagues see her just once a year at best – and that’s at the Christmas ‘do’.
You see, Norma is our longest serving employee. We’re not allowed to tell you how old she is, (76 and three-quarters), so let’s say that when she first got the job, England were the reigning football World Champions. It was 1970…
‘Sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sisters… ‘ That’s Norma far left.
‘Mick pleaded with me to ‘just do another week for us.’ I think he’d have preferred to have a midwife to go round with me.’ Norma Graham
Remember what Roy Schneider’s character, Brody, said in the movie, Jaws when he first saw that Great White shark? He said: ‘we’re gonna need a bigger boat’ and because the list of eligible attendees for our annual Long Service Dinner is getting longer, we’re gonna need a bigger table!
It’s an annual tradition at Coinadrink that, in the run-up to Christmas, those of our employees with ‘long service’ are invited to join Roger for a celebratory knees-up. The bar for qualification to this august event stands at 25 years and what started as a low key, everybody-in-one-taxi occasion years ago, has blossomed into one of the events of the social calendar.
So much so that this year, 14 employees (and their better halves), will join Roger and Yvonne at the Fairlawns Hotel in Aldridge.

Good coffee vastly depends on how well it is harvested from the start, so it’s no understatement to say that this is one of the most important parts of its production. There are two ways in which the cherries can be selected and the most common one is simply manually picking. This is where the farmer will take their time in checking each cherry for maximum ripeness, to which they will then take each one manually. While this is the slower option of the two, it does guarantee of a high quality cherry to which will then produce equally fantastic coffee.
