We have a little change happening at Archive Coffee ☕️

After an awesome few years with us, we’re saying a huge thank you to Callum who has moved on to a new job. We wish him all the very best in his new role and are extremely grateful for all of his hard work!

At the same time, we’re very excited to share that Katie is stepping up into our general manager position at Archive! We are very excited for the future and are looking forward to Katie putting her own stamp on the role and continuing to help push us forward.

A big thank you to both Katie and Callum - one for everything they’ve given us, and one for everything still to come ⭐️

We were so grateful to have been contacted by The Press and Journal to share a few words about what makes our wonderful town of Kirkwall so special, as it celebrates making the shortlist for Scotland’s Town of the Year.

As owners of both Archive Coffee and Twenty One, we’re incredibly proud to be part of Kirkwall’s community, its food scene, its history and its ever-evolving story.

A huge thank you to everyone who continues to support local businesses and help make Kirkwall the place it is. 💙

Good luck Kirkwall 🥂
