Commenting at the significance of the development, which is able to happen on the Forest of Arden Hotel & Country Club on 2 October with an exhilarating Las Vegas theme, Vending International’s Heather Ramsden says: “The Vendies is a spotlight within the merchandising calendar, the place the trade will get in combination to recognise onerous paintings and innovation.
“For producer/ providers or operators, that is the risk to get some well-earned reputation in your achievements during the 12 months whilst playing a fun-packed night time amongst your friends.
“After judging some exceptional entries across the board, I’m looking forward to being at The Vendies for the first time and meeting some of the industry’s key players.”
Judge Brian Tustain is of the same opinion: “Throughout my business life, I have always believed that innovation and excellence of individuals and companies should be recognised and acknowledged in some way. The Vendies provide a competitive and public forum for this, recognising and honouring those who succeed. Without such a platform, the vending industry would be a much duller and less ambitious place. Sadly, I never managed to win a Vendie award – if I had, it would have been a cherished and permanent reminder of achievement.”
Tickets for the Vendies, which come with an unique beverages reception, three-course meal, leisure and after dinner networking will also be booked here.
