Connect Vending has announced an ambitious growth programme aimed at propelling the company ‘to record revenues’.
After twenty years of operating vending solutions all over the UK, Connect has become a major player in the South East. The focus for the business in the coming months will be all about laying the foundations required to achieve consistent, sustainable double-digit growth year on year; because if that box can be ticked, Connect will see revenue more than double – by 2025…
The first visible sign of the gear-change is a new, mobile-optimised website, the first of many scheduled up-grades and innovations that will form bedrock of Connect’s digital strategy going forward – underpinned by ‘significant’ recent investment in people, processes and promotional activity.

‘We’ve always invested in our people as they’re the core of any service-based organisation’, said Connect MD Elyas Coutts. ‘We search meticulously for the brightest and best talents out there and then we equip them with the skills they’ll need to thrive in our competitive and very fast-moving industry. By supporting them with best technology and management processes available to us, we’ll ensure that our clients consider the service they receive from Connect as a ‘best-in-class’ experience.’
