As the year progresses, many businesses are looking for ways to enhance their workplace culture and improve employee satisfaction. One often overlooked yet highly impactful area is workplace refreshments.
By implementing workplace vending machines, commercial coffee solutions and water dispensers into custom-built breakout spaces, organisations can create a more engaging and productive environment for their teams.
National Veterinary Services, based in Stoke-on-Trent, is the UK’s market leading supplier of veterinary wholesale products.

Our business relationship has continued to grow, so far culminating in a grand Express Refreshments Micro Market install in August 2023.

With more and more businesses in and around the West Midlands experiencing an Express Refreshments Micro Market, this is a facility that represents a far better option than the traditional canteen.
With the Micro Market designed to represent a convenience store or corner shop in the heart of the workplace, there are two specific aspects of this solution that really enhance the overall “shopping” experience.
The canteen has traditionally been a popular choice for businesses looking to implement refreshments into their premises. Whilst it used to work well, it’s no longer flexible or exciting enough to cater to the demands of the workforce.
The Micro Market is a modern alternative that’s rapidly growing in demand. Express Refreshments has installed five Micro Markets in as many years and another couple are almost complete!
Here are six reasons why more businesses are choosing the Micro Market as a better alternative to the workplace canteen.
