Carla Lockhart MP • January 6, 2026

Upper Bann MP Carla Lockhart has welcomed a new local business venture after visiting Morning Buzz Coffee, praising the commitment and initiative behind a one-man operation serving the local community.

Carla Lockhart MP paid a visit this week to Morning Buzz Coffee, a new mobile coffee business located just off the Mahon Road at the Industrial Estate. The visit provided an opportunity to show support for local entrepreneurship and for those who take the brave step of starting their own business.


Speaking following the visit, Carla Lockhart MP said:


“It was a great way to start the day calling in to Morning Buzz Coffee and enjoying excellent coffee and a very friendly welcome. Even in challenging weather conditions, it was well worth the visit.


“I want to sincerely wish my good friend Mark every success as he takes on this new business venture as a one-man operation. It takes real commitment and courage to start something new, and it was great to see the stall already buzzing with customers.


“Businesses and small enterprises like this are the backbone of our local economy. They add character to our towns and villages and deserve our support. I would encourage people to call by, show their support and back local enterprise wherever possible.”


Carla Lockhart MP wished Mark every success as Morning Buzz Coffee continues to grow.
