Vending Collaboration – Refreshment Systems & Oakhouse
Steve May, Director of Refreshment Systems, said the company was delighted to win Collaboration of the Year for its partnership with Oakhouse Foods. “This award shows what can be achieved when two organisations work together with a clear, shared purpose. The partnership has combined Oakhouse Foods’ trusted meal range with our vending expertise to create a practical and impactful solution for customers across the UK. “We are also extremely proud that our Vendsmart technology was highly commended for Best Vending Project. Innovation remains central to our work, and this recognition is a credit to the commitment and creativity of the whole team. “The Vendies Awards are an important opportunity to celebrate the excellent
work taking place across the UK vending industry. It was fantastic to meet other businesses, share ideas and recognise the progress being made across the sector.” Jacqueline Dillon, Head of Network Operations & Sales at Oakhouse Foods said, “We are incredibly proud to be recognised with this award. It reflects the determination and collaborative spirit of everyone involved, including our highly valued partner RSL, whose support and expertise have been instrumental throughout. Together, we’ve delivered something truly impactful, and this achievement is a fantastic acknowledgement of that collective effort.”
