Win for Refreshment Systems at The Vendies Awards

Refreshment Systems is delighted to announce that we have won Collaboration of the Year at this year’s Vendies Awards for our partnership with Oakhouse Foods.

The Vendies Awards are a fantastic celebration of the vending industry, recognising innovation, customer service, technology, partnerships and the people who continue to move the sector forward. This year’s event was a brilliant opportunity to meet up with other vending companies from across the UK, share ideas, celebrate success and recognise the exciting developments taking place across the industry.

Collaboration of the Year: Refreshment Systems and Oakhouse Foods

Our award-winning partnership with Oakhouse Foods has focused on creating a convenient and accessible way for people to enjoy hot, nutritious meals at any time of day.

By combining Oakhouse Foods (opens in a new tab)’ high-quality meals with Refreshment Systems’ vending expertise and microwave housing solution, the project has helped provide 24/7 access to hot food in locations where traditional catering options may not always be available.

The collaboration demonstrates how vending can go beyond snacks and drinks, offering a practical, modern and reliable food solution for workplaces, healthcare environments, education settings and other busy locations.

Winning Collaboration of the Year is a proud moment for both teams and reflects the hard work, creativity and shared commitment that has gone into bringing the project to life.

Highly Commended for Best Vending Project

We are also proud to have been highly commended for Best Vending Project for our Vendsmart technology.

Vendsmart is designed to enhance the vending experience through modern, smart technology, helping create more engaging, flexible and customer-focused solutions. This recognition highlights the continued work we are doing to develop innovative vending systems that respond to the changing needs of customers and locations.

Being highly commended in such a competitive category is a fantastic achievement and a reflection of the effort that has gone into developing our smart vending offer.

A Fantastic Industry Event

The Vendies Awards were a great opportunity to celebrate not only our own achievements, but also the success of businesses across the vending sector. It was fantastic to catch up with suppliers, operators, partners and other companies who are all helping to shape the future of vending in the UK.
