Well Caterer’s Green Month may be over but you can still check out all the cumulative wit and wisdom from the series in our Green Zone.
Despite the apparent need for us all to think about our business practices and become more sustainable, I was still shocked when a glance at a Costa press release seemed to show the coffee bar group was now compacting redundant baristas to be more environmentally friendly.
Fear not, the picture is actually of Gihan Weerasinghe who was named Barista of the Year by the Whitbread owned company.
Weerasinghe represented Costa Middle East and North Africa and is based in Dubai no less.
He ultimately triumphed over 800 contestants from 750 Costa stores around the globe to take the title at a final held at the company’s Lambeth roastery in London on the 31 October and has won himself a trip to Brazil with spending money.
Second In the competition was Xu Jun (Peter) representing China and Danielle Golding, based in Plymouth, flew the flag for the UK placing third.
