Blaydon’s Coffee Latino expands market reach with Academy Leasing partnership

North East mobile coffee specialist Coffee Latino has joined forces with asset and vehicle finance specialist Academy Leasing, to further roll out its innovative coffee cart concept across the UK.

The Blaydon-on-Tyne based company offers coffee van packages which give budding baristas everything they need to start their own mobile coffee business, including equipment, training, sales and marketing consultancy and a wide range of vehicles from coffee trikes and quirky Piaggio coffee carts to larger vans.

The tie up with Academy Leasing means Coffee Latino can now offer finance packages from as little as £50 per week, allowing the company to significantly expand its market reach.

Academy Leasing is a leading UK provider of vehicle, invoice, sales aid and equipment finance.

The company helps firms to boost revenues by financing equipment sales to their customers.

It also sources and funds company cars or commercial vehicles and provides invoice financing to help overcome cash flow difficulties and equipment finance for start-ups or established companies.

Based in Lowton, Warrington, the company employs 25 staff and has been established for 30 years.

Managing Director, Barbara Croce, said: “Mobile coffee offers entrepreneurs a fantastic opportunity to join the UK’s coffee revolution, but securing credit for the vehicle and equipment can prove challenging.

“By partnering with Academy Leasing, we can now offer our customers affordable drive away finance solutions, giving them many advantages over outright cash purchase.

Sales Director, Academy Leasing Hazel Jacques: “We are always looking to arrange finance deals for innovative, market-leading products and Barbara has one of the strongest business models we’ve seen.

“We’re delighted to be able to support Coffee Latino’s ongoing success.”
