Frazer’s Coffee Roasters

Founder, Frazer Habershon, was originally training to be a plumber before becoming a gas engineer. As he was finishing his qualifications, he had a severe car accident where he was knocked off his push bike. He suffered damage to his brain and long-term health, as well as suffering from neurological complications.

As he couldn’t go back to a full-time job, Frazer ended up in the hospitality industry and worked his way up. Coffee was never on the menu for Frazer – he loved drinking it at home, but never saw it as a career path. However, he noticed there was nothing locally that offered coffee that was ethically sourced throughout its supply chain, which is something he cares deeply about.

Frazer decided he wanted to fill this gap in the market. He investigated buying his own equipment, including a roaster, which would have cost around £30k-£40k, so he decided to use his pre-existing skills and make his own out of an old BBQ.

After roasting coffee for a couple of years, his two little girls wanted him to open a coffee shop like in the film “The Princess and the Frog”. He has since opened a shop on Arundel Street in the heart of Sheffield, where customers can visit the 50-seater coffee shop and watch their coffee being roasted in front of their very eyes.

Since opening his shop, the business has gone from strength to strength. Frazer has acquired a second roaster, which has allowed him to grow the business further and supply more venues and high street retailers, alongside SMEs.
