Vending Supplier – Nebrak
Tom Howard, Managing Director at Nebrak, commented: “We’re not a business that spends much time looking backwards. Most days we’re focused on the next project, the next challenge and how we can improve. What made this award particularly special wasn’t simply hearing Nebrak’s name announced. It was knowing that the category recognised the things we care most about as a business: doing good work, supporting our clients and partners, and making a positive contribution to the industry. The Vending Supplier of the Year category celebrates product and service excellence, customer support, reliability and industry impact through partnerships. To see our team recognised for those qualities was incredibly rewarding. As a family business, we’re fortunate to work across every stage of
a project’s journey, helping turn ideas into environments that create lasting value for operators, clients and end users alike. Receiving Highly Commended for Design Excellence as well, reinforced something we’ve long believed - great design isn’t just about how something looks, it’s about creating better experiences and delivering better outcomes. Together, both recognitions reflected the values we’ve worked hard to build the business around and made for a genuinely special moment for the whole team.”
Best Family Business – Westways Vending ltd
Natalie Baker, Managing Director at Westways, commented: “Winning the Best Family Business award at The Vendies 2026 means so much to me, my family and our incredible team. This recognition comes at a particularly special time, following the successful transition of the business from my parents to me. Their hard work, values, and dedication built the foundation we continue to grow today, and I’m proud to carry that legacy forward while leading the business into it’s next chapter. This aware reflects not only our family’s commitment over the years but also the passion, loyalty and hard work of our entire team. Every member of the business plays a part in what we achieve together, and this recognition belongs to all of us.”
Best Service Engineer – East Midlands Vending
Winning Best Service Engineer means a great deal to Tom and everyone at East Midlands Vending. Our engineers are a huge part of our business, and this award recognises the hard work, knowledge and dedication that Tom brings to customers every day. Tom always goes the extra mile to keep equipment running smoothly and provide the level of service our customers rely on. He builds strong relationships with the people he works with and is someone our customers know they can depend on. Having both Tom and Malc win this award over the years
makes this achievement even more special for us. It reflects the importance we place on our engineering team and the role they play in delivering great service. We’re incredibly proud to see Tom recognised by the industry, and this award is thoroughly deserved.
