A Great place to Work

Here at Refreshment Systems we make an effort to recognise our valued employees so this year we hosted our 1st awards ceremony at the Hilton Hotel in Leeds. The night went off without a hitch (well… almost) with a fantastic turn-out in a superb setting. Comedian Barry Williams set the ball rolling for a memorable night right from the start with his warm and witty introduction to the evening’s events.

More than half our workforce were nominated by their colleagues for at least one award and this was reflected in the rapturous applause which greeted each and every recipient. And the award goes to…

Operative of 2012-13 – Phil Baker
“I was really surprised – my wife says we’re spending the money on suitcases for Tenerife”

Engineer of 2012-13 Jonathan Mallows

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.

With the help of RSL, we now have a machine that meets demand, makes a delicious drink and is easy to use. We’re delighted with the service that we are now looking to add further machines to different areas on campus.

Leeds City College

Refreshment Systems are brilliant, I thought getting vending and coffee machines for our company would be complicated and time consuming, I was totally wrong, from the minute I called and spoke with Frazer I felt confident they could supply what we needed.

Cygnet Health

I would recommend Refreshment Systems to any car dealership that is looking to enhance their customer experience with a high quality drink offering of bean to cup. We have worked with them for a number of years and installed a new machine last year which we could not be happier with.
