Vendon and Coges
The UK vending and coffee industry is constantly evolving as operators continue to explore ways of modernising to meet changing consumer preferences while, at the same time, maintaining growth. Vendon and Coges understand these needs and they’ll be at Vendex Midlands meeting operators, sharing insights, building new connections and demonstrating that, with the right approach, there’s potential to move forward.
Chris Pyrah, Sales Manager for Vendon and Coges in the UK, sees this every day. “The UK market is challenging. Operators need solutions that actually work—no unnecessary complexity or high fees. We’re focused on making things simple and reliable, so our clients can concentrate on growing their business.” It’s this practical approach that has earned the trust of leading operators across the Europe.
Vendon Cloud is a key constituent of this trust. It provides real-time data that helps operators track sales, optimise stock, and maintain machines efficiently. Its user-friendly design simplifies the management of mixed coffee machine fleets, giving operators the control they need to make smarter decisions. “Vendon Cloud isn’t just another tech platform, it’s a practical tool solving real problems”, Chris said. ‘That’s why it’s trusted by Nestlé, a global leader in the OCS market.’
But success in vending isn’t just about managing machines. It’s about connecting with customers. Coges helps operators do that with secure, adaptable payment solutions. For instance, Broderick’s, one of the UK’s leading vending operators, uses Coges’ digital payment app, Pay4Vend, to engage with younger, tech-savvy customers and build loyalty. It’s designed to fit seamlessly into existing systems without hidden fees or complicated setups.
“We’re not just here to sell products”, Chris said, “we’re here to understand our clients’ challenges and help them succeed. That’s what drives us.”
*This year at Vendex Midlands, Vendon and Coges invite you to see how their solutions can solve the business challenges you’re facing. They’re also hinting that they’ll have big news to share in Milton Keynes that will further simplify business operations and support growth.
“For operators looking to modernize and grow, Vendon and Coges can offer a partnership of trust that’s built on reliability and practical solutions”, Chris said. “This year at Vendex Midlands, we’re not just offering products, we’re offering solutions.”
