NEWS | Appointments & Acquisitions New hires for Excel Vending
Kim Armstrong (Reid) has joined operator Excel Vending in the role of major account manager. With 23 years experience in the vending industry, her knowledge of the industry will be invaluable to the expansion of the business. As major account manager, Kim will work with Excel’s key accounts to deliver a high level of service. She will
be responsible for reviewing accounts, optimising performance and generally adding value for existing customers. In addition, Kim will utilise her considerable business development experience to help Excel expand the number of key accounts across Scotland. Excel’s managing director Jane MacDonald commented: “I’m delighted to welcome Kim to the team at Excel, she is a great addition for us. Her professionalism, experience and
knowledge of vending fits perfectly with standards we set at Excel, we are all looking forward to working with her.” Excel is delighted to announce that another new arrival, Mike Watson, has joined the team as East Coast
business development manager. Mike has over ten years vending experience and joins from a multi- national vending company where he enjoyed the accolade of top seller. Mike’s motivation to move to Excel was based on the opportunities the challenge presents, and the fact that he will be much more of an influence as part of a fast growing independent company. He commented: “The opportunity to grow the Excel business in the East of Scotland is one that I’m
looking forward to immensely. I feel as if I have the backing and support to make this territory my own and to develop good relationships with customers old and new.”

Nayax acquires Vendsys
software company Nayax, provider of cashless, telemetry and management solutions for the unattended payments industry, has acquired VendSys, a developer of cloud-based vending management software, with the aim of strengthening its US presence in the vending and unattended retail market. VendSys has over 150 vending customers primarily located
throughout the US, ranging in size from 5 to 15, 000 vending machines. Complementing existing sophisticated Nayax device and alarm management software, the acquisition of VendSys positions Nayax to deliver business management solutions to vending and unattended retail operators on a large scale both in the US and internationally. “VendSys is excited about this new milestone for our company,”
SB Software, the developers of Vendmanager, have announced the appointment of Robin Turver who will be responsible for business development in the UK. Robin brings a wealth of expertise in the vending sector, with over
18 years industry experience, starting initially with Nestlé Vending as national sales director, and most recently at LTT Vending as sales director. Simon Black, managing director at SB Software, welcomed Robin:
“We are already proud of our achievements since 2007 both technically and commercially. Now is the right time to go a step further still - helping more key players in the sector to appreciate why and how we are simply better. We also want to listen even more - continuing to better understand and fulfil key priorities for operators day to day on the ground. That means two way communication. Robin brings the ideal skill set for that challenge. With his deep knowledge of the industry and hands-on experience of using vending management systems in the real commercial world, he is a valuable addition to our expanding team at SB Software.” Robin Turver is already in post, and looking forward to sharing the benefits of Vendmanager with operators.
