Coffee & Chrome Collective is Footman James’ latest initiative to nurture and develop a new community for classic enthusiasts, aiming to support and celebrate vintage car and bike lovers across the UK with exciting meets alongside engaging social media and digital content. Launched today, the all-new Coffee & Chrome Collective will recognise and salute the people who form the backbone of the automotive culture in the UK, aiming to be inclusive and diverse, championing an eclectic mix of vehicles, bikes and owners from all walks of life, and offering classic enthusiasts access to meets and content.
Built on the success of Footman James’ Coffee & Chrome meets, the Coffee & Chrome Collective has big plans for the next year with an increased calendar of events and expanded digital membership. The next Coffee & Chrome meet, renowned for its friendly, relaxed vibe and assorted variety of cars and bikes, will play host to over 1,000 classics – double the usual amount – and will return to its origins at the impressive Impney Estate in Worcestershire on 3rd July from 9am-1pm.
A free meet that even includes a free breakfast butty* and parking, with plenty more refreshments on hand available to purchase throughout the morning, it will be a celebration of all marques, shapes and sizes. A content team from Coffee & Chrome Collective will also attend each meet, creating video showcases and photography featuring attendees’ bikes and cars, appreciating real enthusiasts.
Footman James ambassador Harry Metcalfe said: “Classics and community go hand in hand. Without a thriving community, the joy of collecting classics wouldn’t be nearly as much fun as it is. Footman James’ commitment to bringing our community together with their popular Coffee and Chrome Collective, will help bring new (and old) friends together to celebrate our love for all things automotive and I cannot wait to get more involved.”
With big plans for the next 12 months ahead (June 2022 to June 2023), enthusiasts are invited to like, subscribe and follow on social media – Instagram, Facebook and Twitter and register for updates via the website: www.footmanjames.co.uk/coffee-chrome-collective to hear more about the Footman James Coffee & Chrome Collective’s increased calendar of meets.
Charlotte Moseley, Head of Marketing at Footman James said: “It’s always a joy to see enthusiasts from all corners of the classic world come together at the Coffee & Chrome meets. From vintage military vehicles to classic motorcycles and everything in between, our aim is to provide the classic community with others who share the same passions. With the introduction of the Coffee & Chrome Collective, we’re really excited to see it grow into something that will have a really positive effect on classic culture in the UK.”
