About Us
Founded by Victor Harold Graddon in 1940, our business was originally one of the first companies in the UK to vend milk. After converting the bottling machine at his dairy to fill milk cartons, he sold these cartons in refrigerated vending machines in public areas around Plymouth, pioneering vending in the South West.
Since then, we have evolved into a vending industry leader, operating out of our depots in Bristol and Plymouth. We still pride ourselves on being a pioneering company, ensuring that we're always up-to-date on the latest advancements in the vending industry.
A FAMILY HISTORY OF VENDING EXCELLENCE
Established over 80 years ago, we are still a proud family business.

Better for the environment, better for you.
OUR INITIATIVES
All of our Teas, Coffees and Hot Chocolates are certified by either Fair Trade or the Rainforest Alliance. So you can enjoy your hot beverage with peace of mind.
01
Fair Trade and Rainforest Alliance
In 2020, we introduced compostable and recyclable paper cups. We increased our canned drink range by 300% and delisted all single-use plastics from our cold drinks range.
02
Less Plastic with More Choice
Surplus food is offered to local charities in the first instance, making a true difference to local communities. The leftover food we have is sent to anaerobic digestion to be used for energy.
03
No More Landfill Food Waste
“Vendman” is a system which plans routes for our operators and technicians, resulting in less environmental impact from driving. Electric vehicles are used for all non-core service work.
