Over the years we have been asked to supply machines for all sorts of unique and varied projects. It is now rare that anything surprises us. And with the range of flexible machines on the market today it is rare that we come across an idea that cannot be brought to life.
These ideas are made possible by the more flexible equipment available on the market today. We configure the machines ourselves and have a lot of experience in knowing what will vend and how to lay out the machine to get the most out of the space available.
Examples include…
BRAND PROMOTIONS
Machines to be placed at events and in public sites to create interest in new consumer goods.
We have worked with a number of well-known brands and/or their marketing agencies to create machines for things like jewellery, perfume, alcohol free drinks, skincare products.
And for machines just needed for a specific event or limited time we can now also offer a HIRE PACKAGE. Each package is bespoke and can include many aspects such as machine configuration, branding, use of a card reader, delivery and on site training, and remote or on-site back up during the event.
In the case of promotional machines we understand the need for privacy and are happy to work on a confidential basis.

Stephen Webster Jewellery Launch
Spot the vending machine in the below video. It says a lot more than I can put into words but to sum up, we supplied a machine to Stephen Webster Jewellery for the launch of a new ring, in conjunction with Machine Gun Kelly. From first enquiry to delivering a fully customized and vinyl wrapped machine to their exclusive GOSSIP event in London was just 10 days. (including weekends!) All logistics were personally carried out by us to ensure the machine arrived safely and we returned the next day to move the machine into a secure location for the client. We thoroughly enjoy working on projects such as these and this isn’t the first time we have completed a last minute project for a luxury brand. More notice would however allow us to push the boat out even more. Please get in touch to see what else we could do. For the full case study please see carryonvending.co.uk/product/jewellery-2023/
FARM SHOPS
Unmanned farm shops vending empty glass milk bottles for customers to then fill with fresh milk onsite or machines to buy bacon, eggs etc for your Sunday breakfast
These machines have been extremely popular and successful for farmers over the last few years with many farms coming back to us for further machines to expand their offering.
We work with the farmers to ensure they have the right services in place, that the location and type of building is suitable and even putting them in touch with others in the industry to share valuable tips and tricks.
IN STORE RETAIL
Machines in luxury retail stores housing smaller items to free up sales staff elsewhere and make a quick ‘on the way home’ present purchase that bit easier.
Some of these machines are now permanent fixtures in city centre retail stores whereas others have been used for seasonal promotions or to take some of the burden off the cashiers in the run up to Christmas. These machines are always branded and generally require out of hours delivery which is available on request.
PPE MACHINES
PPE machines which allow management to monitor and audit the items that staff use which considerably reduces wastage and therefore drastically cuts costs.
The limits to the system we can provide is endless. We can offer clients anything from a simple card allowing one vend per day or, to ensure that no staff member is ever denied their PPE, a full system showing who has taken what and when with reports sent periodically to their line manager. By reducing stock loss these machines can lead to very significant cost savings and therefore pay for themselves in no time.
SPORTS AND LEISURE
Sports and leisure facilities offering a mix of healthy drinks as well as sporting items such as tennis balls, goggles etc.
By choosing a flexible machine where the layout can be changed at any time and the chiller can be on or off as needed, sites have the option to add in seasonal items such as including cold drinks in a tennis ball machine in the summer.
