And now for something completely different?

Hello Vending Friends

  

Sorry that the Sunday Scorcher has been scarcely seen of late!  Nothing to do with the 1971 Monty Python movie, I promise!

There are many reasons for the busy-ness including most recently FitPro.  As you sit, scratching your heads, let me explain; FitPro is probably one of the biggest European Fitness Conventions, held annually at Loughborough University.  2 days of Masterclasses, Workshops and Inspirational Presentations by leaders in the industry.  I’m there to make sure that I’m up to date with current trends and to invest in my continuous professional development.  Frankly, it’s also a very sociable event and there are always people you see once a year for a chat.  I’ve enclosed a link to show you the kind of things we get up to and the beady eyes amongst you will spot one of the Friendly Vending Geeks live, loud and dangerous!  The FitPro video. Move more and eat well, being the motto of the day!

Whilst we're at it, a quick shout out to our friends at Gem Vending - they run the machines at Loughborough University and it was great to see well-stocked, clean and appetising vending machines about the place!  Not only, but also, packed full of intelligence be it for environmental, consumer or health reasons.  Love the QR codes for nutritional information!

All of this talk of fitness and nutrition leads me neatly into BEINGHEALTHY 2013!  It’s easy to book a seat; your ticket, including lunch, is confirmed immediately.  12^th June 2013 during AVEX at NEC, Hall 3, Birmingham.

You should be there because, aside from anything else, we have a fantastic line-up of Industry Speakers;  you will learn everything about running a healthy vending business, equipping yourself with knowledge on how to market health and wellbeing, how to be part of the changing consumer landscape and tasting fantastic products that are also good for you!  We’re also very excited that through our connections in the world of healthy, allergen-friendly and tasty foods, we will be bringing * NEW * products for * SAMPLING *.  Thing is, lovely people of vending, you have to be “in it to win it”. 

So, if the Fitness Industry can get themselves updated and educated on a regular basis, so can we as leaders in Vending.  Get booking as places are filling fast!

So, how about…  read this blog, watch the FitPro video, and then click the BEING HEALTHY 2013  link and head over to book your seat!

See you there!
