**Who is it you'll be working for...**

HatHats Coffee Company was founded by serial entrepreneur Louis Hurst and his wife Lisa, in 2015.

HatHats Coffee Company has grown a lot since its start-up days in a vintage Citroen van (‘Hattie’), with there now being seven HatHats sites in Reculver, Canterbury, Herne Bay, Whitstable, and Faversham. We are currently planning our next phase of development, as we open more outlets (there are a few in the pipeline) and expand our venues and commercial offer.

HatHats Coffee Company is a business that obsesses about coffee, customer service, and always doing the right thing for the communities we’re based in and the environment. ‘Doing good’ is at the heart of who we are. It helps us to make all the important decisions, and most of all, it keeps us doing our little bit to help make the world a better place.

HatHats Coffee Company is a people first, profit second business. We know that when our people are happy and brilliant at what they do, life is so much better for everyone. They delight our customers. They do amazing things. They love their work. So, it makes sense for us to create a place where people can be happy and brilliant.
