Healthier vending experts

As the leading coffee and vending services company in the UK and Europe, we are experienced partners to the UK health sector.  

Fully compliant with regulations and legislation, our commercially driven offer could provide you with an additional revenue stream whilst managing costs.

Healthier options are available 24/7, offering drinks and snacks to those at the hospital at any time of day or night. We also want to improve the coffee experience and can offer quality, branded coffee from Lavazza or our own Pelican Rouge.

And with our fully managed service option where we clean, maintain and fill the machines for you, we can make life easier for you.

Our product range

We offer a choice of two snacks and cold drink ranges, Classic and Healthier Choice.

All of the products in both ranges are fully CQUIN and GBS compliant. The cold drink products are also aligned with Public Health England sugar reduction guidelines.

  • Classic brings the brands consumers know and love alongside a range of healthier choices.
  • Healthier Choice is designed to make it even easier to choose a healthier option. This range exceeds government health targets and requirements, and all drinks have low or no added sugar.

Our snack and cold drink machines are installed with cashless technology as standard, maximising efficiency and increasing convenience for your staff and visitors.

 

Our focus is on bringing you high quality coffee in without having to invest in catering facilities.

Research shows year-on-year growth in the importance of a known retail brand when servng out-of-home coffee.* Whether you’re a patient waiting to be seen or a member of staff on your break, a hot drink can bring comfort and familiarity to an unfamiliar environment.

To provide this we can offer you Lavazza branded coffee or our own Pelican Rouge brand.

Our coffee vending machines use the latest cashless technology and can help bring additional revenue to the trust.
