Founder and CEO
Nigel Seaman
After serving 12 years in the British Army with the Royal Anglian Regiment, Nigel worked as a firefighter and prison officer, before being medically retired due to health issues.
This triggered mental health challenges and flashbacks to his days of service, resulting in a diagnosis of PTSD.
Nigel was accepted onto a six-week trauma related course which assisted in his ongoing recovery from this debilitating mental health condition. During this course, he used his own machine to brew coffee for other members of his group. It was here Nigel discovered coffee was a great conversation starter which then led to the idea of Combat2Coffee. Today Nigel is the CEO of Combat2Coffee, focussing on his areas of strength: making connections across the community, driving commercial growth, and ensuring those in need get support.
