He has spent most of his career with Whitbread, joining as a trainee, as well as a stint at Compass.

Orrin said: “I am privileged to be leading a great brand supported by a great team, and I am excited about our future.”
Costa Coffee’s sales performance in the UK helped drive 10% revenue growth for Coca-Cola’s Global Ventures division in Q2 2023.
Coco-Cola acquired Costa Coffee for £3.9bn ($5.4bn) in 2018.
