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…
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.
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.
