Managing Director
AMIUS SOURCING.
Amius Sourcing was a joint venture between Bean Auction and Amius Limited. Amius committed a £3.2m credit line and Bean Auction would bring the clients and the platform.
In the first three months, I sold $400k of coffee to Volcano Coffee Works and HasBean Coffee and negotiated
preferred distribution rights in Europe with Brazil's second-largest coffee producer Minasul Cooperativa.
Amius Sourcing was closed without debts in August 2019 after foreign currency losses.
Bean Auction April 2016 - October 2019
I signed up 270 business to the platform in the first 2 years and ran auctions generating revenues of $1.9 million in
13 producing countries where we made 5% in commission.
I managed the supply chain (export/import logistics) for all transactions and charged 15% on top of costs for the
service. Customers included: ECOM, ED&F Man, Olam, Hacofco, Falcon Coffee, Volcafe, Keffa Coffee, Pebble and Latorre & Dutch.
I hired and managed a team of 6; 3 full time on site and 3 part-time and remote
In partnership with UN agency Intracen and the African Fine Coffee Association, we secured the highest price
recorded for a Ugandan coffee. Returned 95% of the sale value to the producer. We ran the first speciality coffee
auction in; Uganda, Malawi, Zambia, Congo and Ethiopia. We were the first company to airfreight speciality coffee from the Congo delivering it to Taiwan.
Partnership with International Women in Coffee lectured at the UN twice Ran a training event in Nairobi,
