Hello everyone.

I just wanted to introduce myself to you. Been in vending for 15yrs in Essex - mainly toys and bulk. Look forward to speaking with a few of you in the future.

Hi Steve,

Welcome to the forum.

15 years and still going strong!..whats the secret?

I've personally been in the business for just over 6 years, I would like to go on at least another 10. Keeping the profit margin good and diversification, is that the name of the game?

Regards,

Valiant

Hi. I came across your site via an email when I was selling a machine on ebay.

As to surviving 15+ yrs it's probably down to starting fairly young 26yrs old, building up slowly, not over extending credit too much and having a sensible operating radius so you don't spend hours driving to a machine with £20 in the pot.

PS Hi Phil. Not into tower vending at present, so I hope you didn't mind me emailing you for info.

Glad to be here.

Looking into selling some of my furthest toy vending sites in Ipswich and looking into getting a few towers out more locally. Who's the best co. to speak to guys? Vending Revolution, tubz vending or Hurleys.

tubz vending ~ Do your research (CAREFULLY!!!)

Hurleys ~ Rob & Paul are OK for the day to day products & machines.

Vending Revolution ~ Get past the front desk girls and ask for Peter or Barbara ~~~ Your get a better deal.

Ipswich ~~~ Have you spoken to Nigel yet about your sites?

All have good and bad points to be honest from what I can see. I have nearly always dealt with tubz vending whom have been fine and have a good product. It depends what your looking for? Just stock & machines or site finding aswell?
