A Long Eaton-based vending and refreshment company has achieved national recognition for the third year running after winning two awards at the Vending Industry Awards (Vendies) 2026.
East Midlands Vending, which was established in 2021, won the Customer Service Award (Operator) and Best Service Engineer at this year's ceremony, while also being named Highly Commended in the Best Medium Operator category.
The awards continue a remarkable run of success for the business, which won Best Service Engineer and Best Medium Operator in 2025, having previously been named Best Small Operator in 2024.
The annual Vendies Awards recognise excellence across the UK vending and workplace refreshment industry, with operators and suppliers from across the country competing for the sector's top honours.
Since launching in 2021, East Midlands Vending has grown its customer base across the region, supplying vending machines, coffee machines, water dispensers and workplace refreshment solutions to businesses of all sizes throughout the East Midlands.
Nicola Hill, Managing Director of East Midlands Vending, said:
"Winning national awards for the third year running is an incredible achievement for our team, especially considering how young our business still is.
"The Customer Service Award is particularly meaningful because looking after our customers is at the heart of everything we do. To also receive recognition for our engineering team and our overall business performance reflects the hard work and commitment shown by every member of the team.
"We're proud to represent the East Midlands on a national stage and hope these awards help raise awareness of the quality and service that businesses in our region can provide."
Based in Long Eaton, East Midlands Vending has continued to invest in its people, service offering and customer support since launching, helping businesses across the East Midlands improve their workplace refreshment facilities.
The latest awards support the company's ambition to become the go-to vending and refreshment supplier across the East Midlands.
