Paddy & Scott's

Our heros.

From farm to cup: It's our crew that make Paddy & Scott's awesome! We're always on the lookout for ambitious, talented people. If you’d like to be part of our wall of fame below, drop us a line. In the meantime, meet a few of our heroes below…

Join our team.

Jonathan

CEO and Owner

Jon is our brand and culture guru, who was a lifelong tea drinker, until (in his own words) he "fell head over heels in love with our flat white". We plucked Jon from London, where he was working in tech, and persuaded him that fuelling ambition was for him. Jon is a family man who rarely sits still, an obsessive fitness fanatic; regularly spotted on a spin bike, lifting weights, or doing both at the same time!

Along with Zoe, in 2023, he led a management buyout to become a proud owner of Paddy & Scott’s.

Zoe

Operations Director and Owner

Zoe joined Paddy & Scott’s in 2014, and since then, she has shown unwavering dedication, covering practically every job in the company, eventually becoming the Operations Director in 2020. Zoe is an exceptional boss, a netball champion, and a Tour de France enthusiast. She beat breast cancer in 2020, navigating the pandemic from a hospital bed, and has become a role model for our team.

Along with Jon, she led a management buyout in 2023 to become a proud owner of Paddy & Scott’s.

George

Head of the Farm in Kenya

George Muchomba, the Head Honcho and a second-generation coffee farmer, has served as Chairman of the local Co-operative for more than 20 years. George has earned respect as an inspirational Community Leader, driven to make the farm and the surrounding communities a better place. He's one of the founders of the Ruiga Girls Secondary School, a proud family man, father, and grandfather. A kind, gentle man, we're incredibly proud to be working with.

Isaac

Logistics in Kenya

Isaac Muchomba is the son of George and makes things happen. His knowledge of the local coffee market is unrivalled, having run the Kenyan Coffee Traders Association for 9 years. Responsible for the day-to-day management of the farm project, Isaac serves as a member of the Board of Management at the Ruiga Secondary School. A proud family man, dad, and all-round great guy!

Shaun

Head of Sales

Shaun has worked in the sales and hospitality industry for over 20 years; he brings a wealth of experience to the team. Since joining in 2022, the vision has been clear: to drive the business forward and fuel the ambition of our partners. Outside of work, you are likely to find Shaun in the gym, drinking protein shakes, or on the sideline watching his children play football.

Neil

Head of Operations

Having worked in operations for a leading horticulture company for over 20 years, an opportunity presented itself to work at Paddy & Scott’s and Neil thought, who wouldn’t want to work for such an awesome brand. Neil is passionate about the brand and everything it stands for. Improving our customer experience and sustainability whilst reducing our environmental impact, is something which led him to winning our Ambition Fueller award in 2022. Outside of work, Neil is dad to four amazing children and crazy Springer Spaniel Milo. In his spare time, he likes to repurpose old items or customise stuff on his laser engraver (usually with chevrons or wings).
