Scots coffee business forced to shut over ‘irreconcilable differences' leaving customers gutted
They said are having to return to the Isle of Harris to sort of the issues from afar Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A QUIRKY Scots coffee van has been forced to close due to "irreconcilable differences" leaving punters gutted. Isle Coffee, based in Edinburgh, started on the Isle of Harris before moving to Joppa to bring "good vibes and good coffee." Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The business posted the sad sign on their social media last night Credit: Instagram 2 The quirky business is ran out of a 1960s retro Sprite caravan Credit: Instagram The business is run out of a small, 1960s retro Sprite caravan, making it a unique feature for locals who enjoy hot beverages at the seaside. But the firm has said it needs to shut shop due to issues with meeting the demands of Edinburgh City council. They added that they hope to return to the area in the future and said they were "devastated to have caused so much consternation". The van is set to return to the Outer Hebrides until then. In a social media post, owner Sean said: "It is with a deep sadness that I have to let the great customers of Joppa know that we are having to shut the Isle Coffee caravan on Morton St and Esplanade Terrace. "In trying to satisfy the needs of the council we have sadly not met the needs of the community and at this stage these seem to be irreconcilable differences. "We hope in the future to find a workable solution and that we may be able to return to our new home. "In the meantime we are heading back to Harris (good news for our Hearachs) at the end of the week and we will try and sort this all out from there. "We are devastated to have caused so much consternation, it was never our intention to bring anything other than good vibes and great coffee when we moved to Joppa. "We have loved meeting so many wonderful, friendly and joyful locals - it is a truly fantastic place to live and we have been made feel so welcome by so many people, we just hope we can sort things out and come back to Joppa."

One wrote: "Wow! I can't believe I'm reading this. I'm really surprised that you've not been shown full support at Joppa. "It's just we've been needing on our end of the beach. "Actually a hot coffee! And great chats too" Another commented: "Oh, what! That's so sad! I hope you will come back soon!" A third said: "Oh no, as Morton Street resident, that's a great loss. Hope we see you back soon." A fourth added: "Really, really sorry to hear this, such delicious coffee and excellent conversation, just what the Joppa community needed."

New Zealand Rugby chief executive Mark Robinson resigns
NZR chairman David Kirk thanked Robinson for his 'great service' to the organisation and the sport over six years. 'On behalf of the Board, I'd like to recognise Mark for his great service to NZR and the sport,' he said in a statement. 'He has led with a passion for rugby and we thank him for his commitment over the past six years. 'Mark has driven significant change, both in New Zealand and internationally, and the Board believes the organisation is well-placed to capitalise on this. Of note was his leadership through a global pandemic that saw the game deal with an unprecedented crisis.' He added: 'Mark will continue to lead for the remainder of the year as we conclude key projects, and the Board will now commence recruitment for the new role.' In a statement, Robinson said he was leaving the role to join his wife and children, who have relocated to Australia. 'My family have been based in Australia for the last few months with all three of my children studying there,' he said. 'My wife is already there supporting them and, ultimately, I will be joining them early next year. 'The past six years have been a period of rapid change, or unprecedented challenges through the pandemic, and significant evolution across commercial, competitions and structures. I will reflect on that as I get closer to stepping away, but I firmly believe the foundations of our organisation are extremely strong and the game is well-placed for the future. 'Our vision is to inspire and unify through rugby and that opportunity has been an easy motivator for me every single day, from the community game right through to the international level.' The 51-year-old called his tenure a 'privilege' and said his focus was on 'supporting the Board and leading the organisation through a pivotal year, including ensuring the Black Ferns have the support they need to defend the Rugby World Cup in England'. He added: 'We also remain focused on implementing a new financial model for the game in New Zealand and completing the remaining work on what will be an exciting future international calendar.' Robinson took up the role in January 2020, having previously served on the organisation's board for seven years. His playing career included nine Tests for the All Blacks between 2000 and 2002 and appearances for the Bristol Bears and Japanese side Kobelco Steelers.
