Under the terms of the deal, Selecta will supply more than 50 hot and cold beverage and confectionery machines offering leading-brand products to visitors, patients and staff at four of the Trust's hospitals - St James University Hospital, Leeds General Infirmary, Chapel Allerton Hospital and Seacroft Hospital.

 Selecta's vending offer at the hospitals includes coffee shop-style hot beverages using freshly ground coffee beans available alongside popular branded cold drinks and confectionery. In addition, a Selecta member of staff will be responsible for the cleaning and stocking of the new machines.

"We are very pleased that Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trusts has chosen Selecta to provide this new vending service," says Selecta sales and marketing director Jonathan Barr. "By working closely in partnership with the Trust and drawing on our extensive experience of the healthcare sector, we will ensure that the vending offer continues to satisfy and meet the diverse needs of patients, staff and visitors."
