Our Coffee & Contracts division was created in 2012 after recognizing that during the past 20 years, we had gradually become the insurance brokers and professional advisers to many of the leading US specialty coffee wholesalers and third wave coffee bars, roasters, and importers.
At Coffee & Contracts, we see ourselves as partners with the small and mid-sized coffee businesses that find themselves facing the challenges of navigating through today’s labor and insurance complexities. We bring our years of experience and insight to the world of coffee, with our goal being to expertly serve our clients.
Because of our focus, we provide all of these tailored services at no additional cost, and more often than not, we can assist our clients to save money immediately after performing our cost-free review.
Josh Acosta and Dana Coates are the driving forces behind Coffee & Contracts, a division of UWIB. Josh prefers single-origin espresso, while Dana is an extra-shot latte kind of guy.
Both Josh and Dana, along with their wives, now call Tennessee home. As members of the Specialty Coffee Association and through their combined efforts, they’ve collaborated with a significant portion of the specialty coffee industry.
UWIB’s tradition of providing risk management and consulting services traces back to 1918, showcasing a long-standing commitment to excellence.
