Building on our journey
This year’s shortlistings build on a journey we are proud of.
In 2022, we were thrilled to win Best Vending Project for our refreshment destination designs. Then in 2023, Founder Paul Howard, was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award for his service to the industry. And last year, 2024, saw us receive Best New Product – Machines or Solutions, for our Refreshment Destination Collection, along with a Highly Commended for our Print Services.
Each recognition reflects the strong relationships we have with our customers, partners, and suppliers. It also motivates us to keep improving and keep learning.
Why the Vendies matter
The Vendies are more than awards. They help raise the profile of the vending and automated retail industry, showcasing the creativity, innovation, and service excellence that drive it forward.
Recognition through The Vendies also inspires all of us within the sector to keep evolving. It attracts new ideas, encourages fresh talent, and helps the industry grow stronger.
At Nebrak, we know that being a finalist across six categories is a huge achievement. It reminds us that success comes from collaboration, listening to customers, and constantly pushing to do better.
As we look ahead to the Vendies 2025 awards ceremony on 4 June, we’re proud of how far we’ve come and excited for what’s ahead. We’re deeply grateful to our clients, partners, and the Nebrak team. Your support, trust, and feedback continue to drive everything we do.
We’re looking forward to celebrating the industry’s achievements and building even better spaces and services together.
