About Us

Why are we different?

Back in 1967, we made it our mission to figure out what makes a delicious hot drink. Now, we’ve developed close-knit relationships with leading national brands, to bring you an amazing range of coffee and vending solutions.

With a national presence, we can support companies across the UK. We ensure that our customers have peace of mind (with their equipment) by regularly monitoring and reviewing our service standards.

We have won awards for innovation and green processes. We are also proud to be recognised as the only CarbonZero vending company in the United Kingdom.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

Our customers are at the heart of everything that we do. If they are not achieving their goals then neither are we. Their satisfaction is very important to us and we believe that delivering what our customers want and need, means that we can form a long-lasting partnership.

We can’t thank the team enough, from helping us with the colour schemes to menu boards and point of sale materials, they have just been brilliant!

Coffee House Newark

I think the most important advantage RSL had over other potential suppliers was the use of the mobile drinks van. We knew we were getting quality before we switched suppliers!

Kongsberg Automotive

We approached RSL after finding out that they could supply the Vitro coffee machines (which we wanted in our new offices). They were able to offer us the best solution to meet our needs. We are so happy with the service that we have received so far, that we are looking to use them in some of our other sites.
