Responsible for the acquisition and maintenance of the roasted coffee contracts with governments, schools and private companies. This job includes participating in public tenders, overseeing the multiple contract roasteries and making sure there is 100% traceability of the coffee at all times. In 2020, This Side Up Coffees got into a closer and closer collaboration with the Circular Coffee Collective. It was understood that the two companies would be stronger together in acquiring big coffee contracts for offices, amongst them being governments, schools and private companies. The contracts that the Circular Coffee Collective had, were transferred to the new merged company, under the name of This Side Up Coffees. In this entity, This Side Up Coffees is responsible for the contract, but does not roast the coffee. Roasting is contracted to several roasters, therefore being what is called a "multi-local" approach. In this way, the prices for the green coffee and the entire traceability of the supply train can be guaranteed. As Maarten founded the Circular Coffee Collective, it was only natural to continue with these activities within the newly merged company.
