HEALTHY VENDINGSomething other than the usual
Most vending machines hold the same dozen brands you've seen before. We go looking for the alternatives — some genuinely better for you, some just better made or more interesting. Here's how we choose.
We started looking for alternatives early
THE JOURNEYTraditional vending is a closed loop: the same chocolate bars, the same crisps, the same sugary drinks, everywhere. Almost ten years ago we started putting different products into our machines to see whether anyone would buy them. Back then there wasn't much to choose from.
Some of it sold, plenty of it didn't, and we learned a lot either way. We've kept at it since — tasting, trialling, dropping what sits there and backing what moves. The result is a range with more small and interesting brands in it than you'd normally find in a vending machine.
Honest about what’s in there
HOW WE CHOOSEWe're not going to tell you a vending machine is a health food shop. Some of what we stock is genuinely better for you; a lot of it is simply an alternative to the usual suspects. What we can promise is that we've looked properly, and that everything in there is something we'd buy ourselves.
01
We look for brands doing something different
Smaller producers, better ingredients, flavours you won't find in every machine on the high street. Sometimes that means healthier; sometimes it just means better made and more interesting.
02
Lower sugar, more protein, fewer additives. We read the back of the pack rather than the claims on the front and we don't call something healthy just because the wrapper says so.
Healthier where we can find it
03
Live sales data tells us what people there actually choose, so the range shifts to suit them. If you'd rather push it further toward the healthier end — or stock nothing else — we'll do that too.
Your site decides the mix
If your site has rules, we'll work to them
RULES & POLICIESPlenty of places we serve can't stock whatever they like — schools and colleges with national standards to meet, hospitals with their own nutrition policies, workplaces with a wellbeing commitment to honour. Tell us what you have to comply with and we'll build the machine around it, including leaving things out entirely.
Confectionery, energy drinks or anything else excluded on request
Portion sizes and nutrition criteria matched to your policy
Allergen information available for everything we stock
The names you’ll find inside
