Indigo Valley

Indigo Valley was founded in 2005 at a point when Fairtrade-certified specialty coffee was genuinely rare in the UK. The roastery built its reputation on combining ethical sourcing with quality roasting rather than treating the two as a trade-off, and its roasting team has won 13 Great Taste Awards, which is a concrete and independently verified record of performance over time.

The business has since become B Corp certified and is now also the UK's primary distributor for Franke bean-to-cup machines, with WMF and Jura also in its range. It serves an unusually broad customer base: commercial coffee shops and offices, churches and charities (with dedicated pricing for the sector, built on a 15-year relationship with over 2,000 churches), and home consumers.

That breadth across sectors is a distinctive feature of how the business operates.
