“I now own three Cafe2U vans, which all operate in the one original territory, and I will open a 4th at some point. It is hard work – of course it is, and at times it is stressful, and cold! But I am managing to do this without losing sight of the fact that I joined for a lifestyle change, and not just to work. Being able to employ people and provide them with jobs and careers means a lot to me”

Jeff has been operating his Cafe2U business in Belfast Harbour since 2007.

Jeff was Franchise Partner of the Year in 2008, and has three Cafe2U vans running in his territory, employing 5 full time and part time people, as well as renting premises for van parking, and storage.

Each van serves the public from 8am until 2pm each day.

“I have never been happier in my working life, since becoming a Cafe2U Franchise Partner. My background was in retail management, but in shops not out in the open air! I needed a break from the daily grind of working long hours for someone else. I needed something that would suit the lifestyle of a growing family, but it had to be financially rewarding as well as being enjoyable.”

“Cafe2U gives me the daily challenge of running my own business and being the boss. The brand is second to none, the coffee is the best I’ve ever tasted, and my customers agree, thankfully!

“The start up training and launch is excellent and exactly what I needed, having never been in business before. Everything is documented in manuals, then explained, then demonstrated, and then you are coached until it becomes second nature. But don’t forget Cafe2U cannot do it all for you and you have to take responsibility for making it happen too!”

Being able to employ people and provide them with jobs and careers means a lot to me, and we also make sure we do work locally for charities, and local causes, which I wouldn’t be able to control as much in my old career.”
