“This is a very good deal for Greenbean. It gives us a strong base in the Northeast of England to complement Greenbean’s operations in Greater London and in Ireland. Adams & Russell is a fine company with a strong client list and significant potential for growth in the future. Whereas Greenbean has always been known for the quality of our blends, Adams & Russell concentrates on single origins so we foresee great synergies and opportunities for us to pool our expertise and to move forward.”
