Today, GAIL’s is a much-loved UK bakery-cafe group with over 150 bakeries nationwide.In this insightful conversation, Tom shares the parallels between coffee and bread-making and how coffee became a natural extension of the business. He also reflects on the importance of maintaining an artisan mindset, building a community of bakers and baristas, and why staying true to the craft matters more than chasing trends.Credits music: \"Soho\" by Eirra in association with The Coffee Music Project and SEB CollectiveSign up for our newsletter to receive the latest coffee news at worldcoffeeportal.comSubscribe to 5THWAVE on Instagram @5thWaveCoffee and tell us what topics you'd like to hear","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/FjYhzI1xSZIomOc6FzoVFg1aQeW6NwQqfF-w3jR76-A/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE0NjY2LzE2NzU0/MjM1MjgtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
