Max Dubiel - The Roastery Inside a Prison

Max Dubiel was raised by two German academics whose dinner table conversation ran more to politics than business - secure employment was the ambition, and risk didn’t really feature. Their careers took the family from Italy to America before Max attended St Andrews University, where he met people who would later become his business partners. He co-founded Black Sheep Coffee, and then proposed something no one had tried before: a roastery inside a prison.Redemption Roasters now runs twelve London coffee shops, with over 1,700 prison leavers through the programme. But he is careful about making it sound noble. It was an opportunity first, and the changed lives were a consequence of its success. He is a firm believer that profit and purpose have always been able to coexist, a blueprint more businesses could stand to borrow from.FIND REDEMPTION ROASTERS:🌍 Website - https://www.redemptionroasters.com📸 Instagram - / @redemptionroasters

In a workshop in Swindon, a talented team of artisans weld, shape, and polish furniture that is truly special. They're bringing to life the vision of Tom Faulkner, founder of his eponymous business, a brand celebrated for its clean lines and distinctive silhouettes, born not from formal training but an innate creativity. What began with fixing a broken coffee table in a shared flat with his sister evolved into a decades-long practice working with steel, brass, and an incredible range of materials and finishes. His pieces now fill houses across the world, sold through showrooms in London and New York.Yet for Tom, the work has always been about more than craftsmanship. His furniture is designed for life as it's actually lived; tables that gather families, chairs that anchor conversations. And that same spirit of togetherness runs through the business itself, with a small team who support each other, feel valued for what they do, and are genuinely invested in what they're creating together. This - for Tom - is what success looks like.FIND TOM:🌍 Website - https://www.tomfaulkner.co.uk📸 Instagram - / tomfaulkner
