Speaker
Sahar Hashemi, Co-Founder Coffee Republic
In 1995 Sahar Hashemi co-founded Coffee Republic and built it into one of the UK's most recognised high street brands with a turnover of £30 million.

Giving up high flying careers, they staked everything on a dream and made Coffee Republic one of the main players in the 'coffee revolution' despite having no prior knowledge about retail or coffee.

From the first conversation when the seed of the idea was planted, to getting a DTI Small Firms Loan Guarantee, finding a name and opening the first store - it's a personal story about two people who stopped 'thinking about it' and 'did it'.

Sahar left the day to day management of Coffee Republic in 2001 and has written a book called 'Anyone Can Do It - Building Coffee Republic from our Kitchen table', published in 2003.
