Coffee roaster Java Republic has appointed a new managing director, with former finance and operations director Jeffrey Long stepping into the role.
Mr Long, who joined the company in 2008, takes over from Grace O’Shaughnessy, who has served as managing director for 17 years. He will assume responsibility for driving the future strategic direction of Java Republic, which employs almost 100 people.
Mr Long welcomed the opportunity to lead the company.
“Twenty twenty-two marked a successful year for our business following the market disruption brought about by the global pandemic over the prior two years. Notwithstanding the new challenges we all now face, coffee is a very dynamic and exciting industry, and I am very confident about the future for Java Republic,” he said.
