The outstanding growth of the UK coffee industry could lead to a surge in the amount of coffee jobs being advertised, according to the London Coffee Festival (LCF).
Their study predicted 40,000 new baristas jobs are needed in the next six years.
With the coffee industry continuing to grow at an incredible rate in the UK, the nation is fast running out of baristas to keep the flat whites flowing.
New research released by LCF has found that there are now 150,000 baristas working in the UK, but we will need a further 40,000 in the next six years to maintain the rate at which Brits are lapping up their lattes.
Coffee shops are set to exceed 30,000 nationwide by 2025 – an additional 7,155 cafes – so baristas will need to be recruited.
The good news for Brits is that there seems to be no shortage of talented baristas in the UK.
The top twelve of the 20 baristas shortlisted for the Coffee Masters 2017, taking place at London Coffee Festival this month, are all from the UK – showcasing the UK’s prominence in top-level mastery of the craft.
Jeffrey Young, CEO & Founder of Allegra Group, says: “Coffee is taking over the nation and with that comes a surge in demand for skilled baristas to keep the lattes flowing.
Most Brits head to the supermarket to do their weekly shop where they can buy everything they need in one place.
However, by doing this customers could be spending up to double what they need to on some items.
