Not too long ago we shared a news article that explored the popularity of the vending machine. We detailed how it has developed into an attractive channel to provide refreshments and products, especially during Covid-19.
Of course, such a flexible industry introduces new opportunities for businesses, groups, and individuals. It is no wonder that it is grabbing lots of attention right now with wacky vending machines that continue to appear.
Let’s take a look.
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.
So many large UK companies enlist the services of corporate catering services to keep their staff fed and watered. It’s good that companies are recognising the importance of on-site refreshments, but here at Coinadrink Limited we know there is an alternative solution that may be better suited to your requirements.
Our vending machine and Micro Market services are modern-day refreshment facilities that so many companies across all industries are now experiencing. We outline some key points about our services below, before diving deep into why they may be a better option compared to using corporate catering.
Owing to the last 18 months, people’s working situations have now dramatically changed. Home working was encouraged throughout the pandemic, but even as we try and get back to normal there are still companies that have embraced this way of working.
But even if the number of staff in your workplace has decreased recently, you still have a duty of care to those who remain. Employee perks still matter. Refreshments have been proven to help raise morale and productivity, so here is how you can adapt your solutions if you have chosen to embrace home working.
A staff canteen is a key part of the modern workplace. It is a place where employees can go to wind down either alone or with colleagues, over a tea or coffee or bite to eat. A staff canteen can be an effective wellbeing initiative and absolutely classes as an employee perk.
Right now, these are more important than ever so it’s important to identify areas where you can offer more. Coinadrink Limited the vending machine company can enhance your staff canteen with higher-quality facilities, such as a tabletop coffee machine or snack machine.
Workplace wellbeing strategies focus on the financial, physical, and psychological wellbeing of your workforce. They should cover both immediate and long-term support.
Even though it is more important than ever to implement workplace wellbeing strategies, a lot of leaders and facilities managers may shy away either with lack of ideas or fear of cost, but such implementations don’t need to be complex nor costly.
“One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say.” – Bryant H. McGill. This quote is one we can relate to here at Coinadrink Limited, the vending machine company. Right from 1962 we have prided ourselves on tailoring our services to suit requirements.
This relies on listening to what our customers actually want and endeavouring to deliver. It sounds simple enough, yet it’s an underrated element of our customer service. In this article we want to take you through the whole process from initial enquiry to installation, and what you can expect along the way.
The latest update from our apprentices comes courtesy of Sam Wheeler, who is our Telesales and Customer Care team member here at Coinadrink Limited. Like Alistair Ward and Julie Jones, who you have also heard from this week, Sam has enrolled onto a sales apprenticeship as a way to boost her knowledge and skillset and to help her in her role.
Here, we sat down with Sam to get her latest thoughts on how the course is progressing. Sam is really happy that she has challenged herself with what is expected of her, and absolutely feels all the better for it.
Let us re-introduce you to Simran Salan, who joined Coinadrink Limited a few years on an ongoing Chartered Management Degree Apprenticeship Level 6 (CMDA). Last time we spoke to Simran it was three months ago, and she was really enjoying what was expected of her.
We have now caught up with her again to get her latest thoughts. We asked how the apprenticeship was continuing to develop amongst the challenges that Covid-19 has brought, such as whether she can distinguish a positive difference to her both professionally and personally since she started.
Julie Jones is Coinadrink’s dedicated Customer and Business Development Administrator and does a wonderful job in making sure our customers are happy with the service we are providing. She is a crucial team member here at Coinadrink.
Like Alistair Ward, whose update you can read about from yesterday, Julie is currently enrolled on a sales apprenticeship course put forward by Coinadrink Limited. In this latest update, three months after her last, Julie details how she continues to find the course and what she has found most insightful.
