Each week we focus our spotlight on one of our members, this week we find Vernon from Grind. Grind is one of those businesses that if you have the privilege of having coffee served to you by them, the experience remains with you for a life time. You can find them at expos, and events throughout Jozi, Cape Town and Durbs.  

Who are you? My name is Vernon le Roux, 28, based in Johannesburg I run a mobile bar service company called GRIND. mobile coffee experience.

What do you do? GRIND. specializes in providing the ultimate coffee experience at your event. We have been in the industry since 2007 servicing clients such as Vodacom Business, Standard Bank, Investec, Blackberry, Acer, LibertyLife and many other events and exhibition companies.

What makes your business special? We distinguish ourselves through our ability to take a cup of coffee and turn it into an interactive brand experience at your event.  We do this through various brand-able platforms associated with our service. The coffee bar becomes a focal point of your event and a place where guests can engage with your brand.

What lessons learnt would you like to share? Build strong relationships with your clients through exceptional service and close attention to detail. Treat your staff like people and not employees.
