🌟 Van Collin of Viet-Coffee Honoured with Judges Award at 31st Belmont Business Awards
Perth, WA — In a proud moment for the local business community, Van Collin, founder of Viet-Coffee, has been awarded the prestigious Judges Award at the 31st Belmont & Western Australian Small Business Awards. This accolade recognises Van’s outstanding contribution to multicultural enterprise, community engagement, and the promotion of Vietnamese coffee culture across Australia.
Brewing More Than Coffee — A Vision for Connection
Viet-Coffee began as a passion project to introduce Australians to the rich, bold flavours of Vietnamese coffee. Under Van’s leadership, it has grown into a thriving online business, importing premium brands like Trung Nguyen, G20, EMC2, Vietcoffee, Metrang, MeetMore and Hatvala while also supporting fundraising efforts for flood relief and community development in Vietnam.
But Viet-Coffee is more than just a business — it’s a bridge between cultures. Van’s work has empowered local Vietnamese communities, supported disability advocacy, and brought authentic Vietnamese experiences to markets, cafés, and homes across the country.
A Well-Deserved Honour
The Judges Award is reserved for individuals who demonstrate exceptional innovation, resilience, and community impact. Van’s entrepreneurial journey — marked by integrity, cultural pride, and a deep commitment to social good — stood out among a field of inspiring nominees.
“This award is a recognition of the power of purpose-driven business,” Van shared. “Viet-Coffee is about more than coffee — it’s about connection, culture, and community. I’m honoured to be part of a movement that uplifts others.”
Looking Ahead
With this recognition, Van and the Viet-Coffee team are more energised than ever. Plans are underway to expand their product range, deepen partnerships with local councils and community groups, and continue advocating for inclusive, sustainable business practices.
As Van often says, “Every cup of coffee tells a story — and ours is one of resilience, heritage, and hope.”
Congratulations, Van, on this well-earned recognition. Your work continues to inspire and uplift — one brew at a time.
