Meet the Team
Olivia
Wee Boss Lady
Olivia is Richard’s wife and partner in crime and business for almost 20 years – Olivia, closely supported by the wonderful Mia and Matthew (daughter and son), has been behind Richard through the whole New Kid journey and she is determined to keep Richard’s memory, and the legacy he has created in New Kid, alive so that we can all continue to enjoy Simply Better Coffee.
Keith
Big Roaster Boy
Keith has had the pleasure (and pain at times…!) of working closely with Richard for several years, soaking up everything Richard had learned and put into New Kid. Keith is chief roaster at New Kid! He also just happens to be the 2022 Irish Brewers Cup Champion – what better person to bring New Kid forward into this next chapter than the champ himself! Keith’s attention to detail and appreciation of a great cup of coffee means you can be guaranteed a consistently excellent product.
Elaine
I Do What I'm Told
Elaine has been Richard and Olivia’s right-hand woman for several years, working in a sister business run by the family in Donegal. Elaine now works alongside Keith in the roastery keeping everything ship-shape, shiny and organised. We’d be lost without our Elaine – she holds us all together and keeps things running smoothly!
Günther
The Roaster
Günther has been employee of the month for the last 36 months consecutively.
