ARN is a ubiquitous presence at Vendex events, but visitors to the company’s stand should prepare themselves for something rather different this time around. Joining ARN is a fellow member of the Kitwave Group, Eden Farm.
Eden Farm is a nationwide frozen food and ice cream wholesale and distribution company with a focus on customer service, which specializes in securing the best possible deals from suppliers.
The company was established in 1964 and it describes itself as ‘a company with big business acumen’, which distributes all the top brands of frozen food and ice cream from a series of nationwide branches.
The reason for the collaboration? The ARN stand will feature a fully stocked micro-market, which will feature both ARN’s familiar line-up of best sellers and Eden Farm’s chilled products. Designed and built by Nebrak, the micro market will provide visitors with a glimpse of the future of food at work, as visualized by vending’s favourite wholesaler, ARN.
Also supporting ARN at Vendex are Coffetek, providers of the stand’s table top coffee machine, plus Nestlé (coffee and confectionery) and PepsiCo (Hello Good Choices).
Whilst the content of the stand is refreshingly innovative, ARN’s show crew consists largely of the usual suspects: John Crichton, Bruce Turnor, Hylton Nesbitt; Steve Reynolds and Gordon Johnston will be joined by Eden Farm’s Mark Ellwood.

Visitors will be delighted to see Hylton Nesbitt. Having recently declared victory in his fight against bowel cancer, Hylton is getting back to on his feet, (which is just as well: a day at any Vendex show is all about being on your feet). If you haven’t yet expressed an interest in participating in ARN’s Ben Nevis Trek, which will raise money for Bowel Cancer UK, why not sign up on the stand? Click here for more information
