Since Patch began, we’ve made it a priority to work with independent, sustainable local suppliers wherever we can. Today, we’re celebrating three of our longest-standing partners 👉 the people who bring delicious coffee, fragrant teas and sweet-smelling soaps to our members every day.

☕ - The fuel of our spaces, ethically sourced and sustainably roasted in Essex by Marcella and Rory.

🫖 - Buckinghamshire‑based Mark and Giles create award‑winning blends in biodegradable pillows, full of flavour in every cup.

🧼 .kind - Our Twickenham neighbours Caroline and Anita craft plant‑based, non‑toxic, refill‑friendly soaps and cleaning products that smell as good as they feel.

A big thank you to you all!

These are just a few of the local favourites we’re proud to stock, and we’re always adding more 👀.

🎤 Exploring the Power of Community in Scale-Up Success at Patch

🌊 Yesterday morning in Bournemouth, we welcomed a group of scale-up founders and entrepreneurs for a thoughtful conversation on the role of community in business growth.

🫶 Freddie Fforde, Patch’s Founder, joined Andy Smith for a discussion exploring the different communities that have supported Patch’s own scale-up journey.

💡 Key takeaways:

☕ Make space for shared problem-solving – whether it’s a physical space, a WhatsApp group, or a regular coffee morning.

💯 Community is strength. The people around you can lift your business and life - emotionally, strategically, and practically.

🤝 Rethink competition. Sometimes, your ‘competitors’ can be your best collaborators. You can grow your industry together.

🙌 We had a fantastic morning at Patch exchanging ideas, challenges and ambitions. Thanks to everyone who came along and contributed to the discussion.

📍Patch is a space for people working on ambitious ideas. If you’re looking for somewhere to work, host workshops, or run events, we’d love to hear from you.

🙏 And a big thank you to the Patch team - Karley Woodford, Donna-Marie Smart, and Simonne Rodrigues for bringing everyone together!
