A Swansea University student has ambitious plans to see his start-up business selling coffee from his smart car going 海角视频-wide
Luke Green, 20, a second year student at the university's School of Management, founded GoGo聽Coffee聽in February, serving聽coffee聽from the back of his low carbon emitting vehicle.
The聽coffee聽machines are battery operated from the boot of his car, while he uses locally sourced聽coffee聽and bio-disposable cups.
He secured 拢2,200 worth of funding from price comparison firm GoCompare to help set up his business. The investment enabled the young entrepreneur to pay for vehicle insurance, stock and a secure storage unit.
Mr Green, who hails from Tenby, said: "I love that I鈥檓 able to work on my passion of running my own business alongside my studies.
鈥淚ndependent learning is a big part of my course which it鈥檚 a mature way of studying as it鈥檚 down to you to put the work in and make sure your time is well spent.鈥
鈥淚 use locally sourced organic聽coffee聽which means I鈥檓 helping to support other local businesses, as well as the fact that the drinks are served in bio-disposable cups. I also offer a discount to customers who come to me with a reusable cup.
鈥淪etting up my own business as part of my degree was a big commitment, but it is great to know that I already have that in place when I graduate.鈥
However, Mg Green admits that it wasn鈥檛 always聽coffee聽that he had in mind when he first thought about setting up his business.
He explained: 鈥淲hile I was at Pembrokeshire College, I had an idea to run candyfloss and ice cream carts from a bike.
鈥淏ut when I passed my driving test I explored other options which would enable me to travel further and serve a larger audience. This is when GoGo聽Coffee聽was established.
鈥淏eing able to drive to various places and serve聽coffee聽has really helped get my business off the ground.
鈥淚n the future I hope to have franchises running GoGo聽Coffee聽businesses across the 海角视频.鈥
