Fika - Expert Impact

Fika

Met With Atul Pathak

Fika is a socially conscious catering, hospitality and wellbeing provider. We are committed to become the first B-Corp in our sector in the UK, and our expertise includes supplying clients with speciality coffee bars, cafes, restaurant, hospitality and events.

We also launched a social enterprise called The Bloom Coffee Academy CIC at the same time, which trains homeless and disadvantaged people to become qualified baristas, then support them back into work, ideally within Fika.

Atul demonstrated a genuine interest in my business model, finances and values. It was refreshing that Atul’s style of mentorship was friendly and supportive. His advice and guidance came from both his personal and business experience, making it relatable and genuine.
