Delicious new Border biscuits have now arrived at Coinadrink!

Border Biscuits have now arrived in three delicious flavours.

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 one that was soon overcome. Over the following years, further recipes have been added to their range, and they’ve been forced to expand the business due to such high demand. Coinadrink place only the very best snacks in our machines, so remember that when you see the new ‘Café Bake’ range in your workplace…

Why not try a different hot drink from your machine?

A glass walled office with a table and chairs.

For many, our favourite hot drink is as unique to us as our fingerprint, and it extends much further than simply tea, coffee or hot chocolate. How much sugar do you take? What about milk? If you’re someone who enjoys a cup of tea, which brand does it need to be? The questions are endless, and making a hot drink for someone else can be like stepping into no mans’ land. What we want to know, though, is how you’d feel about trying something a little different…

The ‘Focussed Ladies’ have gone from strength to strength, and the below update shows the scale of their success. To go back and see how the story began – click here.
The women are always keen to enjoy more and have methods in place to try and do so, but the scale of how far they have come is clear to see. This is all thanks to the excellent work of Just Small Change.

Jane Achieng Otiu
Now, Jane is comfortably making a healthy profit of Kshs 300-400 every day, thanks to expanding her stock and selling products such as fruit, crisps and fries. This is her only source of income so she doesn’t live a life of dreams, though her profit margins are enough to cover the rent and basic living costs. If the charity continues with its success, a bigger loan of Kshs 40,000 would enable her to put a cover over her stand, to protect it from the wind and rain.

Benefits of hydration that go on and on…

Ensure you regularly drink for regular hydration!

Unfortunately, as is the way with this country, good weather comes with more hope than expectation, though it never hurts to be prepared for the warmer conditions.
We at Coinadrink can help. If you have read our blog posts in recent weeks, the importance of hydration is something that should never be ignored, and we should always strive to drink enough water on a regular basis. When you become thirsty, its concerning to know that you have already lost 1% of your bodily fluids, and seeing as water is needed to keep our brain active and focused, dehydration can especially have a detrimental effect in the workplace.

Helping Rhyan and Rhys follow their dreams…

The two boys enjoying their holiday with mum Natasha and big sister Courtney.

Coinadrink have been partnering with Promise Dreams for four years now, committed to helping terminally ill children make their dreams a reality. Some of the conditions these children have are truly heart-breaking, and the charity just wants to give them and their families some joy and positivity in what is a very difficult time.
Rhyan and Rhys, aged eight and five, suffer with the awful condition of Cystic Fibrosis, meaning extensive hospital appointments, medication and physio rob the boys of the childhood they deserve. As if that wasn’t bad enough, each lad has their own additional life limiting condition…

Our water coolers help to get you on the path to healthy hydration!

Hydration with style…the B5 cooler.

Here’s a fact for you; if you’re not drinking enough water, your body is secretly suffering without you really knowing about it.
It’s quite often the case in children and teenagers, whose action packed, entertaining lifestyles remarkably can’t make room for regular hydration. Though while all you parents out there encourage your kids to change that worrying reality, it’s quite easy to forget that you need to consume enough fluids yourself. As a general rule, that’s 3 litres for men and 2.2 litres for women on a daily basis.

1962? I Remember You!

2017 saw us celebrate our 55th birthday!

2017 marks a significant milestone for Coinadrink.
On 2 February, we’ll be celebrating our 55th birthday and even as we’ve been planning how we’ll celebrate and commemorate this auspicious event, my mind has been taking me back to the world as it was when first we opened for business.
Much as I’d like to think otherwise, the foundation of Coinadrink doesn’t quite make it into the list of 1962’s Top Ten events! We didn’t realise it at the time, but 1962 was an eventful year; one which would have an enduring impact on the world.
When we opened for business, Harold Macmillan was PM and according to him, ‘we’d never had it so good’. I suppose he had a point: inflation was low, at just 1.1% and pretty much everybody was in work. The average price of a house was £2,670 – although such a sum would have bought you something pretty impressive in Walsall – and the average wage was £799 a year. A pint of milk cost 1/4d (that’s 6.5p in ‘new’ money!) and a pint in the pub would set you back 2/4d, (11.5p).
