The outlet in High Street, Clacton-on-Sea, is being run by Cherizena sales agents Sue and Len Lane.
Cherizena, based at Warnaby, near Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire, offers up to 30 single origin coffees and around 20 different flavoured varieties of coffee direct to customers via mail order.
The firm also supplies to trade customers, and has a network of sales agents who sell Cherizena coffees at fairs and events across the country.
The Cherizena store in Clacton is the first permanent branded coffee shop for the company, which is run by Kate and Tom Jones.
As well as being a coffee shop offering refreshments, the store also sells a selection of beans and ground coffee from the Cherizena range.
“We are delighted that Sue and Len have opened a Cherizena coffee shop, and wish them well in the venture,” said Kate Jones. “They have been sales agents for us for quite some time now, and are regular faces at events and markets across East Anglia. I am sure that their customers are very pleased that they can now also enjoy their favourite coffees in the new shop, and also buy coffee to take away.”

BSP Consulting plays a key role in the opening of a £15 million health and leisure scheme
The latest integrated medical and leisure centre designed and built by an award-winning team featuring BSP Consulting has opened its doors.
The £15 million Moor Park Health and Leisure Centre development in Blackpool features an eco-friendly drainage system which has been incorporated into the play area and park around the scheme. It is thought to be the first sustainable urban drainage scheme (SuDS) in the country designed to be part of a play area.
Civil and structural engineering company BSP Consulting, of Pride Park, Derby, worked in association with Ashby de la Zouch developer LSP Developments and Tamworth architects West Hart Partnership Ltd on the Blackpool centre, a three-storey development that includes three GP surgeries, PCT outpatient services, as well as a library, gym and swimming pool.
The team previously worked together on a similar scheme at Freshney Green, Grimsby, which last year won the HealthInvestor Property of the Year Award.
“The scheme at the Blackpool development is particularly unusual because it contains no underground surface water drainage, so all the surface water run-off from roofs and hard-standing areas is managed above ground through a combination of ponds and ditches which take the water away from the building and allows it to dissipate into the park area beyond,” said structural engineer Paul Whittingham, BSP’s project manager for the scheme.
“Managing surface water run-off is critical to any development, and we are delighted to have been involved in what we believe is the first SuDs scheme that’s been integrated as part of the design of a play area and park.”
The SuDS scheme was designed by landscape architect Dave Singleton.
BSP Consulting, which also has offices in Nottingham, Leicester and Sheffield, provides a comprehensive range of consultancy services to all sectors of the construction community, from architects, project managers and contractors to developers and estate agents.

New range for Original Cake Company thanks to Food and Drink iNet (Innovation Network) support
The business, which specialises in fruit cakes, is diversifying into baking a selection of non-fruited cakes.
It already has a customer lined up for the new products and hopes to create two or three new jobs as a result of the development, said general manager Simon Woodiwiss.
The Food and Drink iNet has awarded £7,437.50 Innovation Advice and Guidance support for the development of the six-strong range of new cakes, which the Original Cake Company is match funding.
“The Food and Drink iNet support is very welcome, as it’s made it easier for us to fund the project and meant that we have been able to bring it forward,” said Simon Woodiwiss. “We have an existing customer for the range, and it may possibly create two or three new jobs, depending on how successful the new range is.”
The Food and Drink iNet, which is funded by East Midlands Development Agency (emda) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), is one of four regional iNets that operates across the region. It has a pot of finance available this summer to provide match-funded support for eligible East Midlands projects in the food and drink sector, which could be focusing on new products, accessing new markets or looking at new ways of working.
Richard Worrall, Food and Drink iNet director, said: “One of the Food and Drink iNet’s roles is to support firms in new product development and to help them create new markets. We are pleased to support the Original Cake Company as it diversifies with a new selection of cakes.”
The Original Cake Company, with more than 30 years of baking experience, used the funding support to help with new product development, holding consumer review sessions, and the design of packaging and labels. It hopes to launch the new range later this month (July).
The Food and Drink iNet aims to build on the tradition of innovation in the food and drink industry in the region by helping to create opportunities to develop knowledge and skills, and to help research, develop and implement new products, markets, services and processes. It is managed by a consortium, led by the Food and Drink Forum and including Food Processing Faraday, Nottingham Trent University, the University of Lincoln, and the University of Nottingham.

Orange Tree music festival Glastontree raises cash for LOROS
Glastontree, the mini music festival organised by Leicester’s Orange Tree bar, will be raising money for LOROS hospice next month.
The line-up for the High Street venue’s seventh festival of musicians and DJs has been revealed and once again includes Grace Petrie.
The Leicester singer/guitarist has appeared at the Orange Tree event every year since it started in 2005 and this year’s performance follows her high-profile set on the Glastonbury Leftfield stage.
Part of the Leicester Fringe Festival, Glastontree’s organisers are hoping to add to the £10,000 the pub has raised so far for the Leicestershire and Rutland hospice during Glastontree events in previous years.
Acts for the Sunday August 7 event also include Tom Savage, Chris Warner, Gallery 47, who recently played at Scotland’s T in the Park, Move and Cousin Avi.
Doors open at 1pm and performances start in the pub garden at 2.30pm before moving into the bar from 8pm. All-day wristbands cost £5 and are available from the Orange Tree. There will be a charity raffle and barbecue during the day.
General manager Jonny Glover said: “Last year hundreds of people enjoyed fantastic music from local bands, solo artists and DJs.
“This year is going to be even better and is a fantastic chance for our loyal customers to help LOROS hospice.
“It really is a great way to enjoy the summer and get to see what Leicester has to offer in the way of musical talent.”

Award-winning healthy olive snacks OLOVES launch two new flavours
Lemony Lover and Hot Chilli Mama are being launched to complement the Tasty Mediterranean and Light Hearted Vinaigrette flavours of OLOVES that are already available.
Sold in 30g packs, OLOVES are a handy, on-the-go snacking alternative to crisps and nuts.
With around 50 calories per pack and suitable for vegetarians and vegans, as well as being Kosher approved, OLOVES come in a foil-fresh, liquid-free pack.

Lemony Lover is a zesty blend of lemon pieces, oregano and a hint of garlic. Red Hot Chilli Mama is a fiery mix of red hot habanero chillis and lemon pieces.
They have been designed to complement the Tasty Mediterranean flavour - the perfect marinated olives with a pinch of basil and garlic – and the Light Hearted Vinaigrette flavour, which features green olives marinated in a vinaigrette dressing.
Each pack of OLOVES contains 12-14 naturally tasty pitted olives.
All four flavours are available in pre-packed hanging strips …ideal to attract impulse buys.
The snacks come in shelf-ready boxes of 10 and bulk boxes of 300, with the option for pre-loaded hanging strips. Recommended retail price for a single pack of OLOVES is 0.89p to £1 in shops.
OLOVES have proved popular in travel catering and are stocked on several airlines including Virgin Atlantic, United Airlines and Thomas Cook. They have won four awards – including the equivalent of an Oscar after picking up a Mercury Award from the International Travel Catering Association (ITCA).
They are also ideal for vending.
