Mhor Coffee was one of only two Scottish businesses taking part in the event, the purpose of which being to celebrate female entrepreneurship and showcase support for women’s enterprise and economic empowerment.
Tricia, who is also founder and CEO of Perth PR and marketing agency, The Cunningly Good Group, started Mhor Coffee with her husband during lockdown in 2020.
Mhor Coffee is an e-commerce platform offering a wide range of artisan coffees for purchase, deliver direct to a customer’s door.
Tricia and her husband Ian Christie teamed up to turn their love of artisan coffee into a business.

The guests at Wednesday’s reception at No 10, including Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, were given the opportunity to taste the six core blends available from Mhor Coffee, which are all named after Scottish mountains.
Tricia Fox, co-founder of Mhor Coffee, said: “I was delighted to fly the flag for Scotland at this reception.
“It has been an incredible honour, and a fantastic opportunity to showcase the Mhor Coffee artisan blend of coffees to an entirely new audience, including the Prime Minister’s wife, Akshata Murty, who is a keen coffee fan. We’ve been told Mhor Coffee will be served at the next cabinet meeting.”
