Hi Nic,
Really glad you've found this forum, it's the best place to get advice and information before going into vending.

Both tubz vending and Hurley's provide everything you need to start a vending business, and even do sitefinding and secondhand machines. There is also the option of buying sweets and empty tubs and packing your own stuff (although it's a right pain in the ****), and doing your own site finding. Although there is a guy on here that does sitefinding called Gavin, if your not up to it yourself.
The best advice is to shop around and drive a hard bargain with suppliers!!

Regards
Mark

Hi Nic,
Welcome to the forum, what areas do you cover? and yes as Mark says Gavin is great at site finding if you don't fancy knocking on doors yourself. :?

Welcome, word of advice though, if your really busy tower vending may not be for you, you only get out of it what you put into it and it can be time consuming for little reward to start.

Loits of people get into this thinking they can make a quick buck and I think most on here will agree its bloody hard work and lots of hassle thrown in, lots of people give it a go and then throw in the towel after a few months, although this does keep us all supplied with cheap nearly new towers :D

Hiya

No no I'm in for long run,
I just rather leave site finding for someone else, but will keep my eye out for places,
I see tubz vending do £25 per site.
Is that value. Not spoke to hurleys yet.

Does anyone on here have over 200 + towers??

hi nic I have around 300 mcs of all different kinds, sweets, pringles, toys, beavers etc as steve mentioned it can be very hard work and alot of hassle at times. im going through a rough patch at the moment with good sites closing and having lots of mcs come back of site. very important to keep getting new sites.

Yep £25 is what I charge although I do a door to door service. £15 is about right for telesales. Available in December if you need me. All the best Gav

Hurley's sitefinding is quite good, used them several times and had some good sites, but the good thing about having a door to door sitefinder like Gav is you can get better consolidation in your area, and you also know he's not going to try getting you into sites that already have several towers in... unlike some companies that do telesales sitefinding (naming no names) :whistle:

And the thing that operators understand is that usually by the time they reach me they have exhausted all other options.....that's where the challenge begins for me as most of the prime sites have been snapped up...so operators need to accept a wider range of sites to join up the dots on their round....as theres usually a finite amount of prime sites...
