The story: How Darren and Simon started Aromatic
Created and owned by business partners Darren Patt and Simon Callus, this is the first Aromatic Coffee & Bar to open in the UK.
They chose Mere Green as the location because Simon lives locally and they wanted it to be at the heart of the community.
Darren and Simon were two thirty-something guys who often found themselves in below par coffee shops serving pre-packaged food and burnt bitter coffee that would close before their meeting had finished, the conversations started or the fun begun.
After several years of conversations, over many a large gin, they decided that they would embark on a mission to create some fabulous teams and put together a great experience.
Darren has over 20 years' board level experience in the hospitality, food & beverage Industry with vast knowledge in pre-opening, positioning, marketing and new business.
He has a passion for food development, trends and relationships with local supplier base.
Simon is currently Director of Business Development for a large manufacturer.
Having been in the catering industry since 1979 he has built up a wealth of experience and customer loyalty, working with some of the key manufacturers in the UK and Europe.
