In the eyes of many, vending has historically been a frustrating entity. Shabby, unreliable snack machines used to take your money and not dispense your item, whilst coffee machines used to deliver something merely ‘wet and warm’. But like most things, vending has quickly advanced, and it has advanced perhaps far quicker than you will ever have imagined…
Installing a vending machine in your workplace carries more benefits than you think. Vending machines are a great way to increase morale and make your business more attractive to future employees, all whilst being a cost-effective method. Here’s why you should be looking to install a vending machine in your workplace.

You’ll find it hard to find someone who doesn’t love a bit of chocolate. It is estimated that approximately 1 billion people eat it everyday, and the average European consumes 15 pounds of it every year! The reason for such admiration stems around a key chemical. Chocolate contains phenylethylamine, which releases certain ‘pleasure’ endorphins in the brain that make us feel good all over. While chocolate is often regarded as a ‘guilty pleasure’, though, the 28th October is a time you can fill your face without the worry. This is because it’s one of the days that celebrates National Chocolate Day.

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).
The best selling record of the year was Frank Ifield, yodelling ‘I Remember You.’ It was September before anybody had heard of a group of scruffs from Liverpool calling themselves ‘The Beatles’.
And, whilst all of that was going on, we began to build our business…
