Wednesday at AVEX: Speakers from across the food and drink industry received a warm reception at The Being Healthy Conference, NEC Birmingham. They offered insight on how healthy vending is successfully working for their businesses and highlighted just a few of the opportunities this growing trend offers vending operators and food manufacturers alike. Gillian White, The Being Healthy Conference Organiser and Director at 24Vend said: “Healthy vending is already delivering profits and competitive edge for operators and producers at home and abroad. Consumers are increasingly seeking healthy food and drink and the industry is responding with an increasing range of high quality products.”
To highlight the changing environment in vending the Automatic Vending Association (AVA) released a state of the nation report on vending after the conference. A copy is available on request: email Ra************@*********co.uk
