Vendex North 25 - A must attend event

Vendex North 25: By Yvonne Reynolds-Young, Managing Director and Publisher. Planet Vending.

Another November Vendex is over and I have to say, it was a cracker again. Despite there being an underlying feeling of unease for a number of businesses due to in house changes, mergers and acquisitions the overriding opinion is one of business as usual. There was a feeling of, ok, it’s a bit tough but deep breaths and let’s get on with it.

My co-director, Ian Maguire and I trawled the stands, chatting to both current clients and potentially new. Vendex is our time to say hello and put faces to names. Ian’s job is to talk to people we haven’t met before and to gather tasty snacks and drinks for him to review. We never know who or what will attract his attention so keep an eye out for this year’s reviews, and they are surprisingly detailed!

My job is to touch base with everyone else and due to how busy the show is, that is a tough task. I don’t like to take up space so will happily slide away from a busy stand. I am however grateful to everyone who took time out for a chat and to give me feedback on how we’ve done for them over the year. I always come away from the show beaming from the positivity.

As usual Spotlight on Vendex North 25 is our star feature and we recommend that anyone wishing to rise above the parapet and have your business showcased in advance of the show, its a bit of a no-brainer to take part. You’ll not get the same level and quality of coverage anywhere else, for less! Every article is written or edited by us so we know it will be read. We update it AFTER the show with reviews and the like so even if you think you’ve read it all… you probably haven’t. Follow all this year’s contributors and reviews here.
