Two young Werribee business-owners are optimistic that trade will perk up for their mobile coffee trailer, as COVID-19 restrictions ease.

Many Ho and Kevin Noble started Barrel of Beans in 2018, when they were aged 22 and 24 years old.

“It has always been a dream of both of ours, to operate a successful business together, and the collaboration of both of our skills made Barrel of Beans possible,” Mr Noble said.

Mr Noble said that since starting out, he and Ms Ho had taken their coffee trailer to the Melbourne International Flower Show 2019, an international equestrian event at Werribee Park and the 2020 Olympic Sailing World Championships, hosted at the Royal Geelong Yacht Club.

He said that before the coronavirus pandemic lockdown, Barrel of Beans had a full calendar of bookings for events to be held this year.

“But since the COVID-19 virus has put a stop to the events, this also put a stop to us having jobs to attend – leaving us with no choice but to wipe our 2020 calendar clean and wait in anticipation, for what’s to happen next,” he said.

Mr Noble said that he and Ms Ho believed their business would survive the pandemic.

“We would just like to take a moment to thank all of our event organisers, loyal customers, our friends and families, for your never-ending support and motivation,” he said.
