Sahar Hashemi, Founder, Coffee Republic

Sahar founded Coffee Republic, the UK’s first US style coffee bar chain with her brother and built it into one of the UK’s most recognised high street brands with a turnover of £30m. Giving up a highly professional job as a lawyer, she staked everything on a dream – and made Coffee Republic one of the main players in ‘the coffee revolution’ that transformed a nation of tea drinkers into one obsessed with ‘triple decaf half-caf lattes.

Sahar has also written a bestselling book called ‘Anyone Can Do It – Building Coffee Republic from our Kitchen table’. It’s a personal story about two people who stopped ‘thinking about it’ and ‘did it’ and has reached number 1 on the Amazon business chart. In 2005 she launched Skinny Candy, a high profile brand of sugar free sweets
