What’s the company story?
  
Founded in 2014, the organisation was founded by an unlikely mob of painters, jazz musicians, basketball players and barbers, brought together by a love of specialty coffee and all of the creative cultures in its orbit. Minor Figures make plant-based, 100% Vegan Products to lift your coffee (and your mind), be that in the comfort of your home or your favourite local café. The organisation are now Carbon Neutral because the organisation believes that balancing out their impact on the world is the least they can do. Their vision spans beyond the present and there is plenty more work to be done.. That’s where you come in!
