It’s a worrying reality that many of us continue to only associate physical symptoms with our health. If we’re suffering with a bug, flu or even a headache, we know something isn’t quite right, but the topic of mental health isn’t quite as clear. While it’s fantastic to see that the stigma behind mental health…
It’s been one of the worst winters in recent memory. Many mornings have begun with extremely cold starts, and we’ve often had to make the journey into work through snow, ice, wind and rain. It’s only natural, then, to crave a hot drink when we finally do get into the office. Very little else can…
One of the common reasons we hear as to why people don’t have a vending machine in their business is because they prefer to make their own drinks. We might be a little biased here, but that’s something that frustrates us. Having had over 55 years’ experience as a company, we have witnessed the advancement…
Throughout our history, we have seen vending progress to admirable lengths. Never more so, however, than when the world’s first vending machine was created for homeless people. Installed in Nottingham last month, the machine dispenses key items such as water, fresh fruit, soap, toothpaste and books. Whilst the technology behind it isn’t anything revolutionary, it’s…
Every year we tie our name to some excellent organisations, and 2017 has seen us work with both Acorns Children’s Hospice and Just Small Change. As the year winds down, it’s pleasing to receive some positive feedback about just how far our efforts have travelled, and the latest recognition comes all the way from Kenya…
Back in October, we published some of the craziest vending machines that could be found somewhere around the world. Live lobster made the list, and there was also a beer vending machine if you preferred to serve yourself rather than queue at the bar (this one can be found in Hackney, UK, if you’re interested!)…
Today is National Sandwich Day, a day to recognise one of the most popular lunch time choices not just in Britain, but all over the world. Sure, our Nation certainly takes the credit for such an invention, but it’s testament to how good the sandwich is to see its popularity now extend much, much further.…
From when the first vending machine appeared in the 1880’s, they have come an extremely long way. Hot drinks machines now dispense coffee shop quality, and fresh food and snack machines deliver big brands in a pinch of the time. The evolution of vending has also extended to strange and quirky options though, many of…
Our favourite coffee is as unique to us as our fingerprint. Maybe it’s a Café Latte with two sugars, an Espresso with a double shot, or perhaps you enjoy a Mocha instead. While many of us know what we want at the hot drinks machine, though, how many of you know exactly what goes into…
Border are a family owned company that have been sharing the love of biscuits for over 30 years. They began in 1984, when John Cunningham purchased a tiny factory in Lanark and entrusted his four workers to set about making the best biscuits they could. With little machinery available, it was a hard task, yet…
