Social Responsibility and Vending not just at work…

Mark — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 13:51:37 +0000

Young people in UK educational establishments are helping fund schools in Africa with Café Karibu, it’s a simple setup and one where every one plays their part. Some of the profits generated from the sales through the vending machine are helping to supply much needed resources to a remote school in Tanzania.

Revive have installed bespoke banking with unique graphics to communicate what is going on. The students are also updated of progress with the school via an integrated screen at the top of the machine banking. The hot fair-trade drinks are custom made with syrups from a touch screen menu completing the offering. We think you will agree this make social responsibility in the vending industry more fun and tangibly beneficial to people.

New for 2013

Vending in 2013 is going to be fun, today we learnt that the Italians have made a Pizza Vending Machine which makes authentic pizzas from scratch in minutes. This kind of innovation in the vending industry is making many things possible, there are machines capable of making Venti Lattes ( thats a 591 ml frothy coffee ). We will also be rolling out Karibu Coffee due to positive feedback and the Great British now expecting espresso based drinks. Watch this space and feel free to follow us on twitter.

The Ugly Ducklings

There once was some ugly Vending and their cabinets were all ugly and plain and then Revive came along with a brand new song and now vending will never be the same. This might get the vending industry squawking but we will let the pictures do the talking.

He was joined by David Worsfold Incisive Media Foundation Chair.

Message of Thanks from Tim at Revive Vending, please leave a message after reading.

Without doubt that is probably the most stupid thing I have ever done. Nothing could have prepared me for the pain I felt in my ankles and knees for the last 12 miles. Yet despite the pain this was not the worse thing that happened to me. No, the worse thing was getting to the last 600 meters and being over taken by Big Ben, St Pauls Cathedral and The Gherkin. I will never look at those landmarks again in the same way. A massive thank you to everyone who has helped me raise over £3600. That is enough money to set up a whole pre-primary school in Tanzania which will accommodate up to 60 children. I will be in Tanzania next week selecting the next schools we intend to help.

Ps what are the chances of bumping into Keith Smith from Platinum Vending when running with 38,000 over people. Anyway, there we were two vending guys sorting out the problems with the vending industry whilst casually pushing our bodies to their limits in the largest race on Earth. Keith will tell you that I beat his time. What he forgets to mention though is he had a massage half way round. Well done mate great effort.

Sophie’s a champion!

Mark — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:21:18 +0000

The staff at this particular vending company have varied interests, we have cyclists, swimmers, gardeners, and marathon runners. Not every vending machine company has a National Pony Society Champion. Sophie managed to win the Mountains and Moorland breeds Dressage riding tests and if that was not enough she went through to become the National Champion of that breed type. Well Done Sophie.
