BARRISTER Jocelyn Robinson has turned barista to run Slaithwaite-based Go-Go Gaggia, operating a mobile coffee service from a strikingly-liveried Smartcar.

Jocelyn started Go-Go Gaggia in October 2011, after being made redundant from her legal role with Greater Manchester Police.

She said: “The concept of Go-Go Gaggia was developed over a bottle of wine one evening with the family. We discussed the lack of ‘quality coffee’ for commuters, especially at local train stations.”

Jocelyn started trading in December 2011, serving Gaggia coffee and homemade cakes from the back of her Smartcar to commuters at Slaithwaite and Marsden railway stations as well as to employees at business premises.

She also attends markets, local shows and festivals and has added TeaPigs tea to the menu.

Jocelyn has also sold two Go-Go Gaggia mobile coffee franchises to would-be entrepreneurs outside the Kirklees area and plans to extend the number of franchises in time.
