In 2014, I took early retirement but very quickly wondered what would I do!

Then I stumbled on ‘Tubz’! First impressions always count and I thought, this is a slick operation. We spent a month looking at forums, reviews, talking to people and evaluated the cost. It was certainly cheaper than a supermarket, provided a return and most importantly, gave us the freedom to travel far and wide.

We thought we would give it a try and invested with 25 machines plus stock. We became hooked! We kept ploughing all profits back into the business purchasing 25 machines plus associated stock and, kept the process going. To-date we have over 400 machines and two vans. The vans are essential if you have a large number of machines and want to go full time, as you need to have several machines available to expand or indeed, repair any unserviceable sites.

To suggest that this is an easy business would be wrong, you have to work at it, keep the customers happy therefore, you really need to have a positive attitude and a good sense of humour. And most of all, have a supplier such as Tubz, who can provide you with everything you need at very short notice.

Paul Somerset at ‘Tubz’ knows exactly how we operate and has, since 2014, provided first class support, he has an excellent manner, knows the vending industry inside out and can answer any query very quickly. Good customer relations is King! You need a supplier who can deliver what you require quickly and efficiently, we cannot fault ‘Tubz’, and foresee this relationship lasting a long time.

We operate large and small confectionary machines, savoury machines and large toy machines. For the right person it is a very rewarding business! We cannot overemphasis the need to have someone to talk to, or get advice from, Tubz have been operating a long time and consequently, have the knowledge to keep your business on track. We would always endorse taking their advice no matter what level or stage you are at.
