"I want to hire as many folks with disabilities as possible. ”I also hope we inspire other small businesses to hire folks with a disability."

William Wells is the Founder and Head Roster at Artery Roastery based in Ottawa, Ontario. William and the Artery team know what a positive impact can do to a person living with a disability, a farmer defending their land in Guatemala, and a single mother living in Rwanda - and their actions and products give back to these groups every day. 

Artery Coffee Roasters know their farmers and producers on a first-name basis. They provide stable and worthwhile employment to people living with disabilities and they know that consumers want to support businesses that give, and don’t just take. 

William is a volunteer and Board Director of ABLE2 and in August of 2022, Artery won Best Drip Coffee for Ottawa.
