Introducing the dynamic duo behind Manta Gray: Lucy and Codrin. While they may seem like an unlikely pair at first glance, their partnership is a testament to the magic that happens when complementary strengths come together in pursuit of a shared dream.

Lucy, with her extensive background in hospitality, and Codrin, driven by a passion for entrepreneurship, joined forces to create something truly remarkable. Lucy's years of experience in the fine-dining world instilled in her a deep understanding of the importance of quality, service, and attention to detail. Meanwhile, Codrin's relentless drive for success and his entrepreneurial background provided the perfect catalyst for turning their vision into reality. And thus, Manta Gray was born—a testament to the power of passion, partnership, and the courage to chase one's dreams.

For Lucy, the dream of opening her own business had always been simmering beneath the surface. Born in Argentina and raised in Bali, she watched as her parents built a foundation of new skills and business together. This is where she learnt that this was the life she would eventually love to have. After eight years in the hospitality industry, she took a leap of faith, bidding farewell to the familiar comforts of fine dining to embark on a new adventure in the vast and diverse world of coffee. It was a bold move, but one fuelled by her unwavering determination to carve out her own path.

Together, they embarked on a journey of discovery, immersing themselves in the intricacies of the coffee world and exploring the endless possibilities that lay within its depths, from sourcing the finest beans to experimenting with unique blends and flavors. With the help of Codrin's well tuned business compass, they were able to navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship with grace and resilience, never losing sight of the ultimate goal: to create something truly incredible.
