We are forever grateful to cross paths with Wells and the opportunity to learn and be inspired by him. The world has lost a true legend. A man who fought for what was right and fair - always working behind the scenes to do his part to help improve lives and the planet. Humble and unassuming. An optimist and pioneer. Stubborn, often misunderstood, brilliant and inspiring all at the same time.His love for exploration and adventure into the unknown is what drove his life's work. Wells was a creative soul with a deep appreciation for people, art, music, and flavours from around the world. He was, without question, obsessed with the craft of coffee making.But above all, he was kind warm and full of love. A friend to many, selfless in all the ways - giving of his time, resources and creativity to uplift others including pioneering the Fairtrade movement and ethical coffee in Australia. No matter how much was going on in his life and business, he didn't sit back when it came to helping others in need, no matter how far removed - like when he approached us in 2020 to help run a fundraising campaign for the coffee farmers and communities hit by the devastating hurricanes in Honduras.Thank you for showing us what living generously looks like and what it means to leave the world a better place through your life's best work. Rest in peace, Wells.
