PUNJANA SUPPORTS SOS BUS

SOS BUS NI Staff Wednesday, 24 February 2010
Punjana, Northern Ireland’s favourite cup of tea and a family owned company, have confirmed their support for SOS Bus by becoming the primary supplier of tea as a donation to the project.

Joe Hyland, CEO of SOS Bus welcomed this partnership and thanked Punjana for their support.
SOS Bus provides refreshments and support to those in need every Friday and Saturday night in Belfast City Centre. Over 65,000 people have interacted with the project since it began in November 2007.

A century ago, Punjana, the tea importer and blender, was beginning its life near the docklands in Belfast. Originally founded by McArthur and Willis, the Thompson family made their mark in 1896 when Robert Samuel Thompson became a partner. Ross and David Thompson, joint Managing Directors of Punjana Limited, today carry on the traditional job of tea tasting and selecting the company´s teas, in much the same way as has been done since the company was founded in 1896.
