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.

Coinadrink Limited, the vending machine company, explores some things to consider when downsizing your office space.
The BBC shared an article recently on how the vending machine is making a “comeback”. We’re pleased that the benefits of the industry are now becoming a hot topic for all to see, though being a vending machine company ourselves we have always understood its advanced and flexible nature.
Vending is one of the fastest accelerating industries on the market today. Now spurred on further by the Covid-19 pandemic, vending machines provide an unattended retail solution that works brilliantly for so many businesses and environments.
