Ian and Yvonne

Editor: Ian Reynolds-Young

Brief Biog: Ian is a true creative; writing songs, poetry and he is a published author. As a mature student, he attained an MA in Creative Writing in 2007 specialising in writing for business. He finally got it that he didn’t need a ‘qualification in journalism’ to write for journals, newspapers and magazines so just did it. Buy him a pint and he will expand on his career to date but suffice to say that he has been in and around the Vending Industry for more years than he realises so has become well enough qualified to write and comment on the state of the vending nation.  He formed his PR business, reynoldscopy, in September 2011. Planet Vending was launched after spotting a gap in the vending press and having a desire to reach out to the Vending industry to offer them a platform where they can shout about their successes and even to pass on their views about current affairs. Ian is a familiar figure at all the main vending events, even though he does try to disguise himself with beards, and long hair from time to time, so stop him for a chat when you see him next

 

Publisher and Managing Director: Yvonne Reynolds-Young

Yes, you’ve guessed it. Yvonne and Ian are related, by marriage. Yvonne has had a long and successful career in operations and sales management, mostly within the car rental industry. Her last role in car rental was International Sales Manager for Europcar.  A chosen redundancy, and a chance meeting took her from sunny Berkshire to a damp Manchester in 2009 whereupon her foray into hotel sales management and all its frustrations led to a dramatic decision to quit that industry in 2011 and join her, now, husband in his business. She hasn’t looked back, much, and runs the business with a rod of iron and a smile.
