Reflecting on his journey with us, Kevin shared:
"It has been an incredible journey for me, transforming and managing a specialty logistics coffee and commodity business in the UK. Its success required my full concentration, knowledge, and expertise to navigate what I thought would be a normal business turnaround. The pitfalls brought about by Brexit, COVID, and the Ukraine war made this a very different and difficult challenge. However, the success of Vollers UK has not been mine alone. I would like to thank the hugely professional and dedicated team at Vollers UK, as well as Christian, the owner of the Vollers Group, and his entire team for their unwavering support and investment in the business from day one. I would also like to thank the UK Specialty Coffee Industry as a whole—every single person, partner, and customer who welcomed me during my stay in the UK, worked with us, and stood by us as we persevered in perfecting this challenging specialist business, turning it into what it is today."
Kevin will officially hand over management responsibilities to Philipp Wacker and Chloé Fisher at the end of September. He will remain in a consulting role until the end of December to ensure a smooth transition. As Kevin embarks on his well-deserved retirement, we wish him the very best. Given his passion for coffee, we have no doubt that our paths will cross again in the future.
Kevin’s leadership has been instrumental in shaping the success of Vollers UK. His professionalism, expertise, and commitment have left a lasting legacy, and he will be greatly missed by the entire team.
We thank Kevin for his invaluable contributions and wish him all the best in his new chapter.
Kindest regards,
Christian Vollers, Philipp Wacker & The Vollers Team
