Plans are well underway for the next Vendex show which will be Vendex North to be held at the Centenary Pavilion in Leeds on 8 November from 10am to 4pm.

The event will showcase all the latest products for the out of home and vending market in a one-day format.

The show is bursting at its seams with a total of 93 companies already down to exhibit, 20 of them new to Vendex.Show director, Phil Reynolds said: “Visiting the show puts you at the heart of a buzzing marketplace, full of new launches, rapid developments and cutting edge technology plus all the latest from the big brand names in soft drinks and confectionery.”

VI spoke to some of the exhibitors to find out what to expect…

Laura Barwell, head of business development at VMC commented: “We offer a range of payment terminals within our portfolio to enable our clients to choose the product that best suits their needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, something our clients need more than ever in these changing times. Our systems vary from simple plug and play contactless solutions that are really quick to install, to more complex cashless systems packed with additional features that boost sales and provide valuable insight to operators.”

“We’re keen to showcase to visitors at Vendex North just how quick and easy it is to add one of our readers to their machines, and to share how with the power of VMC Flex in the background it can also increase spending with loyalty and promotions.”

“Vendex is always a great event with a strong turnout and we’re looking forward to seeing both new and familiar faces at the show, you can find us on stand 3.”

Meanwhile, SB Software will have a full team of experts on duty in Leeds to discuss your priorities for vending, OCS and micromarkets, and demonstrate/explain our latest highlights including:
