Sarah Baker — 23 May 2024

To Merilyn, Jasper and the extended Jasper Coffee family, my deepest condolences to you all. The Australian coffee industry has lost one of its brightest stars. Wells was a true pioneer, leader and ambassador for sustainability and the coffee producers he represented to proudly. I'll always remember my interactions with Wells with the fondest of memories; from the first time he quizzed me on my knowledge of Fairtrade Coffee, to our shared meetings at SCA/ReCo conferences around the world, and happily enjoying a coffee around the boardroom table where he had enough stories to collate an entire book. I'll never forget him or the value he's placed in my life and my career. I'm forever grateful. I will miss you Wells. Goodbye my coffee friend.
