Extreme sports cafe wins backing of finance provider
South West asset finance provider Ignition has a backed a new café in Barnstaple.
The finance company has helped the Point Break Café buy a commercial coffee machine and grinder.
Point Break has been designed as a hub for adventure-seekers with a extreme sports theme.
Its three owners, Rob Jones, Rob and Jodie, are parachuting, skiing, snowboarding, mountaineering, surfing and sky-diving enthusiasts, who are determined to harness their love of adrenaline-filled sports within the atmosphere of the venue.
Along with sporty-themed décor and an array of sporting memorabilia and equipment, there are plans for the café to host regular events with inspirational speakers from the extreme sports and entrepreneurial business world.
Ignition is a leading UK provider of vehicle and asset finance for SMEs, offering finance for a wide range of assets from plant and machinery to vehicles and business equipment.
In the hospitality industry this can include anything from catering equipment and venue refurbishments to EPOS systems. Ignition’s services were recommended by The Devon Coffee Company when Point Break approached them for a high-quality coffee machine.
Rob Jones comments: “At the café we’ll be treating our customers to a wide selection of drinks, snacks, cakes, paninis and toasties, but we know that one of the keys to our success will be in providing truly excellent coffee.
“Financing the Ascaso espresso machine and grinder through Ignition means that we can spread the cost of this purchase over time and reduce our initial capital outlay, which really helps with cash flow.”
Callum Thompson, Relationship Manager at Ignition added: “Point Break is so much more than just a café. Rob, Rob and Jodie have created an amazing venue dedicated to their sporting passions, which is ready to welcome a dedicated tribe of customers keen to share in the buzz. It’s been a real pleasure to help with this venture, and I can confirm, the coffee is outstanding.”
Point Break Café is located at the site of an old art gallery in Atlantic Court Business Park in Barnstaple.
