Case study: Leica Geosystems

Our third collaboration with Leica Geosystems showcased how quality coffee for exhibitions can elevate a brand’s presence.

We provided a tailored barista service for the GEO Business exhibition, with a team of three skilled baristas serving expertly made coffees and refreshing juices.

Our expertise in multi-day events meant our team maintained efficient service throughout the two-day showcase.

The results were impressive: 1,305 hot drinks served, 72 bottles of milk used and nearly 16kg of coffee brewed. Our inviting coffee bar helped increase footfall to Leica’s stand, keeping guests energised and engaged throughout the bustling exhibition.
