***Your votes for the finalists can be made here: https://www.thevendies.co.uk/voting-form-2018/ *** by 13 September

 

The Forest of Arden Hotel & Country Club in Birmingham will be awash with light on 2 October as the prestigious awards scheme for the UK vending and water industries – The Vendies – returns for a thrilling, Vegas themed celebration.

Tickets are priced at £145pp (discounts available for EDWCA members) and include a drinks reception, three course meal with wine, award presentations for outstanding performance, an after dinner casino and even more Vegas filled fun and networking. A limited number of hotel discounts are also available to guests of The Vendies and/or the EDWCA Business Day on a first come, first served basis. Bookings must be made in advance via The Vendies website.

Entries are now open with new and revised categories, aimed at operators and suppliers in the vending and water industries and as previous winners will testify, a Vendies win ‘is a real stamp of endorsement.’

The Awards will be judged by an expert panel, comprising leading names from across the water and vending industry – with some help from the industry, of course!
Judges will assess each of the entries according to strict criteria, before carefully selecting up to five finalists in each category for the industry to vote on.
The judges’ scores will account for 75% of the outcome and the industry vote 25%. Written entries must be no more than 1,000 words. Supporting information (images, videos etc) should be uploaded via the online entry form.

The EVA supports national awards schemes like the Vendies as it provides recognition as well as motivation to vending companies and serves to increase the already high levels of quality within the industry.
