ARN will (of course!) be at Vendex North, The Exhibition Hall, Doncaster Racecourse on 12 November 2025.

Hello again
Christmas comes but once a year, which makes Vendex twice as good to look forward to – and guess who’ll be playing Santa again in Doncaster? Yep: ARN!
Our on-the-day deals have been growing in popularity year on year and when you’re on a roll like that, why change a winning formula? As per usual, I’m not going to spill the beans yet on our forthcoming Vendex showstoppers but most of our customers know that when we say ‘showstoppers’, we mean it.
And what perfect timing for our suppliers to help out our customers. You’ve recently been battling price increases and (more) government intervention, in the form of rises in both National Insurance contributions and the living wage, so I urge you to take advantage of these strong, strong deals; because they really will assist in enhancing the bottom line for your business.
On top of that, at Vendex we’ll also be introducing some exciting new products, not least two new flavour additions to Walker’s wonderful Max range, the irresistible deep-ridged crisps that are bursting with intense flavour to deliver the ultimate taste experience in every bite! Come to our stands – we have 130 and 131 – and you’ll be invited to taste test Chunky Cheese and Onion and Zingy Salt and Malt Vinegar, both of which are now available from ARN.
We’ll also have some eminently vendable zero VAT lines to boost sales (not to mention the bottom line), together with some very useful additions to our ‘gym’ range, which will further extend our provision of products suitable for the health and fitness industry. If you operate in that sector, or have ambitions in that direction, these represent even more arrows for your quiver.
As you’d expect there’ll be other newbies for you to enjoy, but since they may (or may not) be part of our on-the-day deals, I’m keeping them under wraps.
By the way: one thing you’ll notice immediately when you enter the Exhibition Hall at Doncaster Racecourse is that ARN has taken over the sponsorship of pretty much all the infoscreens at the show, giving you ample (you might say ‘unavoidable’) opportunities to scan our QR code and download our brilliant app. I say ‘brilliant’ because the app allows you to view all the wonderful things that you can get on the website on your phone.
So, come one, come all! We’d love to see everybody in Doncaster. Vendex is an opportunity for us to reconnect with each other over a coffee or a drink and discuss how ARN can support you on your journey within the fast-moving vending trade.
See you there? Ho ho hope so…
Cheers for now
Gordon
