Tash hosts an inspiring ‘Mind, Body, Barista’ panel to open the conversation on mental health in hospitality in response to Well Grounded’s ‘State of the Coffee Nation’ report.

Ask and you shall receive. With so many of you asking to get behind the scenes of our roastery space, we open the doors and launch tours and tastings at our Leyton production. Valentine's date? You can join for our next tour on the 14th February 2026.

Another early start at Whitchapel Mission as the Climpsons team returns to volunteer their hospitality skills in the kitchen. Whitechapel Mission offers essential breakfasts, advice and community every day of the year to those that need it in our East London neighbourhood.

Our bike courier team, Neko Home Delivery, covers an insane distance by bike every year, successfully pedalling deliveries to every wholesale account within a 5 mile radius.

A year at Climpsons would not be complete without showing our support for Blue Marine Foundation. This year we speedily set up three coffee bars enroute and one espresso martini celebration at the finish line for their big fundraising cycle from Somerset House to The Solent.
