Tea in Tea-mClick on the 'mug shots' to read more about our team

Carl

Carl is very particular about his coffee, which is why he always makes his own.   It has to be strong with one and a half sweetener tablets added, then stirred clockwise for at least three seconds without creating any froth. If it doesn’t meet these exacting criteria it will end up down the sink.

Carl has been running Legion Express for 20 odd years and spends his spare time walking around the great outdoors with a flask of perfectly prepared coffee in his rucksack.

Dean

We call Dean’s brew ‘Baby Tea’ ~ tea bag in for no more than 35 seconds, loads of milk and two heaped sugars. Yuk! but he loves it, particularly when it’s cooled down enough for a good slurp.

Dean is obsessed with the movies, so much so, he wanted to name his three children after his favourite films. Don’t worry, they’re not Jaws, Carrie and Shrek.

Marc

Marc likes his tea in a red mug (Legion red of course) with milk and two spoons of sugar, stirred once anticlockwise and half a turn clockwise. Given the chance he is always first to reach for the biscuit tin.

Marc has been with Legion Express for many years and loves driving around the city and chatting to customers. We often send him off on long-distance deliveries, but he always comes back…

Sarah

Sarah drinks coffee in a slender cup that matches her favourite handbag.

Immaculately manicured, Sarah looks after her own nails and spends her spare time colour-matching nail polish to her vast collection of clothes.

Sarah has two boys and loves to take the family out and about at the weekend.

Lukasz

A new member of the team, Lukasz loves his tea black. Just pure tea in a black mug that’s as straightforward as it gets.

Lukasz spends his spare time working out at the gym and cooking Polish specialities at home unless he can persuade his sister to rattle the pans. He can be very persuasive, so it may be more accurate to say he consumes Polish specialities at home.

Lou

Super strong with no sweet stuff ~ Lou is hardcore when it comes to coffee. It only takes a couple of cups to keep Lou going all day, no wonder when the caffeine count makes mincemeat of government health warnings.

With a dedicated changing room at her favourite boutique Lou has twin passions for fine clothes and gardening, although she tries not to combine the the two.

Wayne

Wayne has a penchant for strong tea with no frills ~ very northern. Wayne also has a phobia about using electrical appliances, so has to rely on the other team members to get a brew on.

Wayne plays five-a-side football, six-a-side football, Sunday league football and has a season ticket for Rotherham Town FC, so no surprise that his passion is for the beautiful game.

Recently, Wayne has become a grandfather and loves to spend time with the new baby when he’s not got his football boots on.

Mandy

Mandy likes her tea with a drop of milk served in a china cup and saucer, poured from a china teapot. Delicate and quaint. The tea service that is.

At home, she manages the family’s finances  and can account for every penny they spend. Even before they’ve spent it.

She has been the bookkeeper at Legion Express for a number of years and hasn’t lost a book yet!

Paul

Paul enjoys making drinks, ordering drinks and drinking drinks. If anyone can keep up with his fluid input they’re probably on a drip.

Paul spends most of his spare time running to the bathroom, taking in beauty spots and interesting urban venues to help keep his mind distracted while his body takes the punishment of a gruelling run.

Jerry

More likely to be strong & sweet coffee rather than tea, Jerry consumes vast quantities of hot drinks. It takes around 3 mugfulls to get his pulse going and, as yet, no-one has managed to breach his caffeine limit…

Jerry spends a lot of time asleep and his hobbies include resting and lounging around.
