We are working on something special, that’s all we can say about it at the moment. It is so special we had to protect its identity. Keep checking back for progress. It’s going to be an awesome year, don’t believe what everyone else thinks.
What happens when over 100 of the vending industry’s finest get together for EdUKaid’s charity ball? Maybe a bit of a dance, possibly some champagne tasting, probably a late night enjoyed by a later breakfast. But could anyone imagine that £9000 would be raised? That’s enough to almost renovate an entire school in Tanzania. The Vending Industry really demonstrated their commitment to good causes and an awesome time was had by all.
Sophie has scooped not one trophy but two at this years New Forest Show riding her pony Wayland Arabesque. On her day off on Wednesday she won the New Forest Ridden Open and then went on to win the New Forest Championship. We all know how much time Sophie puts into this and we are very proud of her. Sophie is part of the admin team at Revive and is our friendly voice on the phone, today however she has been speaking to Horse & Hound!
Planning a date for a Picnic can be a bit hit and miss in the UK, but a bit of rain did not stop the Revive Family enjoying a day out in the New Forest. We all met up at Bolderwood which for some of us proved very hard to find. A quick game of cricket and a glass of Pimm’s helped it to feel more sunny than what it was and a snake hunt kept the children and the boss amused. A great day out had by all.
Here is a really good article published in the April edition of Auto Vending magazine.

Cast your minds back 30 years ago, the mini metro was launched, PacMan made a debut in the arcades, everyone was asking who shot JR?
Whilst all this was going on a young man aged 29 years old was starting work at a vending company in Salisbury as a service engineer.
How he’s put up with us we will never know. How we’ve put up with him, well, they are called ear plugs. Yes this man can talk for England, in fact the whole of Europe. Had he been alive in the Second World War, America would not have needed to use the Atom Bomb. Instead they would have just sent in Dave and within days the Japanese would have surrendered.
Revive are constantly replacing vending machines with more energy efficient vending machines, this is great for reducing energy consumption however this leaves us with a machine to dispose of responsibly. We have found a perfect solution, round up all the old machines, water coolers, used parts and have them sent to the Think 3e group. They specialise in green jobs that deliver community benefit. How? they provide work for offenders and the out of work training them up in how to dismantle and recycle all components.
Many of us separate our plastic bottles and cans at home but this is not always the case at work.
This is a new way of literally reducing waste, and everyone can get involved. This handy machine ( called the Minima ) reduces the physical size of the can or bottle by crushing it to around 20% of its bulk. This means less waste storage, less transportation of waste and therefore reducing the companies carbon footprint.
Revive support a charity called Edukaid by giving them free office space and also help with administration costs and fund raising events. Edukaid aims to improve the provision and quality of education in the developing world. Their work is currently centered in Tanzania and in June this year, Revives MD Tim Varney or “Mr Tim” as he is known in Tanzania, made a special trip to see for himself how the money raised was being spent. Not only did he get the chance to talk to teachers, school children and all of Edukaids Tanzanian staff but he also supervised the delivery of desks and chairs to a science class at Singino Primary school.
Mr Tim said “watching the children dressed in their school uniforms, carry the desks and chairs up the long steep hill will stay in my mind for ever. The fact that they were all smiling, happy and excited to be receiving this basic equipment brought home to me how just a small donation from the UK can transform the lives of children in a place like Tanzania”.
