Lockdown has been a strange time for us here at Coinadrink, as it has with everyone. But they say troubled times bring everyone together, and we wanted to share the “ray of light” that we’ve witnessed internally, throughout the industry and across our country. Here is how Coinadrink, a trusted vending supplier, ploughed through lockdown to come out the other side with optimism for the future.
After what seems like only 5 minutes since last year’s event, Black Friday has returned with a bang. Express Refreshments has welcomed this shopping phenomenon with open arms, but probably not in the way you’d expect. Black Friday doesn’t have to be all about sales and discounts. Just like last year, we are working closely with our Micro Market customers to support each of their chosen charities through product sales. Together, we will help make a difference to some fantastic organisations.
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 is slowly lifting, some people still find it hard to talk about their feelings. As an employer or Facilities Manager, there are things that you can do to help the cause. It’s important to create a positive workforce where your staff feel happy and comfortable.

Rather understandably, hot drinks are extremely popular in the winter. Whilst many of us need our tea or coffee to get us up and running in the morning, the cold, January climes mean our hot drinks machines are working overtime throughout the entire working day rather than just the start. This is all well and good: we’re certainly not one to criticise the consumption of hot drinks in the slightest. However, while the hot drinks machine can’t attract enough visitors, your water cooler nearby is struggling for attention, and this isn’t good. Your health is at risk.

We reckon your employees are on the good list this year. They work hard for your company, and ensure it remains appealing to your clients and visitors. Isn’t it time you showed your appreciation? The festive season is the perfect opportunity to show your gratitude in the best way possible, and we have a few ideas. Ideas that you can unbox now, yet enjoy for months and years to come…
You can’t put a price on quality refreshments. The ability to visit the vending machine in your workplace whenever you desire is underestimated, and you’ll soon wonder how you ever did without. It limits the need to head off site for your break in potentially poor conditions, and increases morale for the rest of the day ahead. This is just as important for the employer and it is for the employee, as you’ll see a notable rise in their productivity level.

Express Refreshments is an advanced division that envisaged the future of vending with the Micro Market. It understood the few pitfalls of vending to offer over 400 products, all in an unmanned, self-service convenience store that’s located in the heart of the workplace. Today’s working world is more demanding than ever, with staff, clients and visitors placing higher expectations on the refreshment offerings in your business, and it all stems from the Millennials.

The greatest sporting event around; the FIFA World Cup. Bringing together 32 Nations to engage in delight and heartache, even non-football fans find it hard to not take an interest. While the potential success of your own country is at stake, it is also an opportunity to witness the majority of the greatest footballers on the planet take part in a competition that only comes around every 4 years. For many, it is near impossible not to fall in love with it during its 5 week appearance on our TV screens. While England may not have the best chance of success, they certainly won’t be missing out on our incredible support and brave optimism. Come on England!
Just like with every sporting event, the World Cup provides weeks of excitement and debates. Who will win? Who will get out of the groups? Who will be the top goalscorer? And ultimately, how far will England get? Make sure you get the most out of the office discussion with a hot drinks machine or a water cooler. The perfect partners in debate!
Here at Coinadrink, we will begin trying out our new Express Refreshment system in the first quarter of 2013. Not only is this new, but it’s also within our belief that it’s a first for the UK, meaning you won’t find them anywhere else. A lot of time and effort has gone into this project and more information can be found in the next edition of Refreshing Times.
