Caffè Nero
Caffè Nero was founded in 1997 by Gerry Ford who had a vision to bring a continental style coffee house experience to the UK and beyond. Our philosophy is really very simple: Premium Italian coffee. A warm and welcoming atmosphere. Good food and great personal service. Caffè Nero has continued to increase its store numbers, sales and profitability year on year and become a familiar neighbourhood meeting place in towns and cities across the UK, Europe and US. As store numbers have increased, Caffè Nero has built a strong brand identity built on premium espresso-based gourmet coffee, authentic Italian food products and a relaxing atmosphere in every store.www.caffenero.com

DavidHOST
I'll be honest, I found that the Ruby 15 relationship to me, they were like...
DavidHOST
They came across like the couple of best mates sat in the corner of a Cafe Nero laughing way too loudly at each other's jokes and making the whole place feel slightly unwelcoming and obnoxious for everyone else.
MattHOST
Yeah.
DavidHOST
Do you know what I mean? Maybe that's unfair.
George ShuttGUEST
So he was one of the founders.
George ShuttGUEST
It was ultimately sold to Tesco, who then sold it to Cafe Nero, who acquired the business in 2016.
George ShuttGUEST
And so we've been kind of through ownership models across the history of the company.
George ShuttGUEST
The business has always been set out with a very clear mission to make specialty coffee accessible, which in 2012 was quite a radical concept.
John MorrisGUEST
Aye.
John MorrisGUEST
And then the first year he was like, I remember sitting with you because it was Cafe Nero at the bottom of Bath Street.
John MorrisGUEST
And him and his business partner were like, okay, John's got some pretty big ideas.
John MorrisGUEST
And at the end of the year, he was like, you fucking did it, mate.
Alex BellHOST

Marsha VincentGUEST
Yeah.
Marsha VincentGUEST
I think unfortunately it closed in 2004, 2005, something like that.
Marsha VincentGUEST
It's nice to be part of it because we walk through history in this building.
Marsha VincentGUEST
Does
Mike WaddingtonCORRESPONDENT
that mean that you've got this building here and then where Cafe Nero is, is that it over to the square?
Marsha VincentGUEST
Just the end of Cafe Nero.
Jonny AmosHOST
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Jonny AmosHOST
Well, speaking of which, I mean, you have a fantastic track record in terms of the music that's been placed across your Channel 4 and Netflix and Sky, E4, BBC, Cafe Nero, all sorts of different outlets.
Jonny AmosHOST
And what actually makes, do you think, a good song for...
Jonny AmosHOST
Are you looking for a great song or are you looking for a song that solves a particular problem for like a TV producer or a filmmaker or an ad agency or something like
Tom HallHOST
Yeah.
Tom HallHOST
Their branding's good, but kind of looks like a Caffe Nero.
Tom HallHOST
That's somewhere I don't want to go.
Tom HallHOST
Caffe Nero's a bad coffee, guys.
Tom HallHOST
Very bad.

Anywhere that charges for alternative milks.

MaxPANELIST
You know, I've worked at a Cafe Nero.
MaxPANELIST
You have to wear a Cafe Nero t-shirt.
MaxPANELIST
It will look similar to that.
MaxPANELIST
But if I was, if I was, if I listened to Radio X and I didn't work for Radio X, it would be a very different thing to wearing it.
Ian WaterfallHOST

Ian WaterfallHOST
It was a Caffe Nero.
Ian WaterfallHOST
It was actually a good coffee.
Masterful 27HOST
Oh, dear, Ian.

Stephen AllenHOST
The Andrew living in limbo over police inquiry.

Interesting to see a royal story that's not prince versus earl.
