Scores of vending professionals were welcomed to the new venue – Marshall Arena, MK Dons Stadium, Milton Keynes – which was widely welcomed by exhibitors and visitors alike. More than 100 exhibitors signed up and visitors were able to see the latest products for the vending, unattended retail, HoReCa and OCS markets all in one day. Vendex director Phil Reynolds said many


exhibitors reported sales on the day to be “the highest ever known”. Simon Black, MD, SB Software - the Makers


of Vendmanager and Coffeemanager, said: “We were delighted with the latest Vendex. Our stand was busy from start to finish, with a steady flow of visitors especially interested in our latest offerings: the Nova Micromarket kiosk and the all-new Databridge telemetry unit.

It feels like business is back to normal, with micromarkets and OCS especially booming.” Laura Barwell, Head of Sales at VMC commented: “Vendex has always been a firm fixture on our annual show calendar, and it was great to see so many people again, it really felt like things were finally back to normal again!
