Thank you

Hi all,

I figured I'd better post an introduction as I'm finding myself back and forth here for help more and more frequently and would like to get to know you all a bit more.

I own an online printing and embroidery business and have stumbled into vending by complete chance. I inherited two machines about 8 months ago and decided to site them as an experiment. After a few stumbling blocks and teething issues they started to turn a fair profit. Since then I have embarked on a mission to site more machines and build a round that I will hand over to my dad for him to retire into.

Currently, I have 7 machines sited and have just landed my first contract to site machines across South Wales, with the potential to extend the contract to stores across the UK.

I've already learnt a heck of a lot about the industry and reading through the posts on here has been a huge help so thank you to everyone for the contributions they make. I hope I can soon repay the favour with contributions of my own.

Hi Ryan,
Well done for the success you have already had and long may it continue. I also have a printing background and have found vending a refreshing change. Do you do just sweet towers or have you tried pringles towers.

Thank you Joe! I've actually only just bought my first tower. All the machines I have so far are larger snack/cold drinks machines.
Are you still in the printing game? What type of machines are you involved with?

[Central2vend]

No got out of printing 10 years ago and bought a retail business. I currently only do sweet and pringles towers but hope to diversify in the future

Welcome aboard.

You mention gaining a contract to site machines across the UK? Are they large snack/drinks vendors? If so may be able to help in the Midlands. Me in the East Mids and Matt in the west
