meet the team
From UK to Rwanda, the Praego Team are an industrious troop, enthusiastically working together to produce high end speciality coffees that have a far reaching impact beyond the cup.
From small cafés to big corporates, we’re committed to providing a personal customer service that goes above expectations, giving our consumers the best possible experience and connecting them to the Praego story.
Caffe Praego is the sister company of Hallmark Vending Ltd (H.V.) and some of our Team maintain the same business roles, bringing their knowledge and skills to both.
