Thrive London, the coffee company powering better work days

In a city where workplace culture is under pressure to evolve, Thrive London has emerged as a new kind of coffee company with a winning formula: one that’s helping businesses fuel connection, wellbeing and productivity in the hybrid era – one cup of coffee at a time.

The company today releases new research of 1,000 British employees and 100 employers revealing a clear truth: speciality coffee is no longer a perk -  it’s a workplace essential.

Great Coffee Boosts Culture, Productivity and Connection

The survey reveals the pivotal role coffee now plays in workplace satisfaction and performance with the following key findings:

• 82% of employees say access to good coffee improves their mood and productivity
• 70% highlight coffee machine chats as the most sociable moment of their day
• 98% of employers say coffee plays a vital role in workplace wellness
• 91% see coffee machines as a hub for camaraderie and collaboration

With two thirds of employees stating they only have access to a kettle, the data also confirms a growing disconnect between what teams want from their office experience and what many workplaces provide - particularly when it comes to simple, meaningful perks that build culture.

Clare Hancock, Managing Director of Thrive London commented: “When budgets are tight, investing in premium coffee may seem like a luxury but our research shows it’s a priceless investment in people. The kettle hasn’t moved with the times and the best workplaces are built around moments of connection. What we see from this research is that great, speciality coffee facilitates this.”

The Workplace Coffee Company Built for the Future of Work

Under its refreshed brand and new leadership, Thrive London has repositioned itself around a single goal: to make workplaces more energised, sociable and high performing.

With sisters Clare and Emma Hancock now at the helm of the business, Thrive London, previously known as iKofhi, is the capital’s fastest-growing provider of premium, B2B coffee solutions. The B-Corp accredited company is setting a new standard for office-based wellbeing. It combines speciality blends, high-tech machines, and industry-leading response times with a purpose-led approach built around sustainability and culture.

A New Kind of Business, Led by New Thinking

Under its refreshed brand and new all-female leadership, Thrive London has repositioned itself around a single goal: to make workplaces more energised, sociable and high performing.

“Coffee is the small thing that powers the big things — connection, creativity, performance,” says Clare Hancock

Thrive London is built around what today’s offices really need, with the business crediting its recent success to:

• Premium coffee from exclusive partners Grind and Caravan, roasted in London
• Smart, stylish equipment that fits beautifully into modern workspaces
• Compostable packaging and a fully sustainable delivery model (on foot, public transport or electric vans)
• A 2-hour breakdown response time, the fastest in the industry
