Vending company on course for £20m revenue with big contracts

MANCHESTER-based vending and refreshments business Broderick’s Group, is celebrating a pair of prestigious national client wins – British Airways and Michelin Tyres.

The influx of high profile new accounts sets Broderick’s on course to turnover £20m by 2017.

The British Airways account sees Broderick’s installing more than 100 machines at Heathrow Terminal 5, engineering sites and its Waterside offices to provide refreshments to the airline team.  Further machines will be rolled out across Gatwick and Newcastle Offices.

Broderick’s has a strong track record in the aviation sector. As well as servicing Birmingham Airport, it’s been on a sharp trajectory with Manchester Airport Group since the business first started providing vending machine and hot beverage solutions to airport departments in the 1980s.

It recently secured the contract for the entire airport group, and Broderick’s vending machines now serve millions of passengers at Stansted, East Midlands and Bournemouth airports.

Jane Nicholls, MAG Retail, said: “What impresses most about Broderick’s is they continually innovate – not just at renewal time – throughout the duration of the contract. The innovation is unrivalled; service standards are of the highest calibre throughout MAG Group.’’

From its centre of Technical Excellence at its Sharston HQ, Broderick’s covers clients countrywide.  The latest Michelin account win includes installing vending machines at the tyre company’s sites across Dundee, Ballymena and Stoke.
 
News of the latest duo of accounts comes hot on the heels of another raft of major contract wins, including United Utilities and Manchester’s First Street business community.  Existing customers are growing too, with the company recently adding two further Capita call centres to its contract.

Managing director John Broderick said: “We’re extremely proud of the success of Broderick’s: my brother Peter and I have taken on the mantle of a family business that was launched by our father as Manchester Vending in 1969.  It’s come a long way since its early days, but our ethos of never compromising on customer service remains unchanged.”
