Vendman’s conquest of Europe went up a gear this week, as the UK’s leading vending software company set up shop at Venditalia, in Milan.
It’s now 15 years since Vendman acquired its first European client, ABOS, based in Holland; but in recent months Vendman has made important strides in Europe, having added accounts based in Germany, Holland and Belgium to its portfolio.
The decision to exhibit at Venditalia was ‘a no brainer’, thanks to Vendman’s highly successful appearances at EuVend and Evex in 2015.
The acceleration of Vendman’s growth in Europe has seen the company grow its workforce by a staggering 40% in the past 12 months, an expansion that saw Ian Forde appointed to the new role of ‘Executive Chairman, Vendman Europe’. Reporting from the stand at Venditalia yesterday, (Thursday), Ian told us ‘there’s been non-stop interest in Vendman software in Milan, so much so that we were able to deem the show a success after day two. It’s not just Italian operators that have visited our stand – we’ve entertained delegates from the Middle East, from former Soviet countries, from all over Western Europe and even north and south America. It’s a truly a international show and we’ve been excited by the attention we’ve received.’
