“Abercromby have been partners with us for just over a year now and we are delighted with the quality of the equipment, the excellent service we get as well as the increases in our vending sales, it is proving to be a very successful partnership. “
One of our proudest moments has been the decision of Glasgow Airport to select Abercromby as their new service provider for the vending requirements within the airport, following a rigorous procurement exercise. We have brought a new standard of vending to the airport with our state-of-the-art equipment and technology, while establishing a strong and fruitful partnership with the airport’s commercial retail team. Abercromby are proud to have made Glasgow Airport the first in the UK to use a fully integrated cashless debit card vending payment system.
Abercromby have been working with the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde since 2009, in a joint partnership agreement that covers all the main hospitals and minor NHS clinics within the estate. We were approached to partner the catering and retail team to find a cost effective way of offering fresh food to hospital staff and visitors, 24 hours a day. Since 2009, Abercromby in partnership with NHS GG& C, have successfully collaborated to provide help and support with realignment of catering services and provide automated food, drink and snack solutions that have increased the quality and service to patients, visitors and staff who can now readily access 24 hours per day across multiple Hospital locations, whilst maintaining a high standard of catering and availability of fresh food throughout.
