Adega Mayor turned 15 on 15 June and Rita Nabeiro admitted that the last two years have been “particularly challenging” for the company which is part of the Nabeiro Group which owns Delta coffees.
“I would highlight the pandemic period because it was a time that helped the team become more united and overcome some of our targets” she said, adding that the fact that 2021 was the company’s best year ever in terms of results was “gratifying”.
Adega Mayor’s turnover in 2021 was €5.6 million, which exceeded figures for 2019 after years of constant growth. Growth in 2021 was up 10% on 2020.
