Leadership interview series: Roland Horne

Discover exceptional industry leaders through powerful, in-depth interviews in our CORE Leadership Series. 

WatchHouse Coffee is a UK success story. We speak to Founder & CEO Roland Horne about their new investments, their growth into the US, Middle East and Asia and matcha. 

We cover a lot in the interview including Roland’s journey as an entrepreneur, the learnings from his MBA, the people who have given him guidance and support and the Manhattan Graph, a great way to look at all areas of your life. 

Roland is an incredibly driven leader. 

There is much more headspace for the business in coffee but he also talks about UK politics and a potential sideline in the future.
