A Little About Us
H2O Vend is a family-run vending and refreshment business based at Tilney St Lawrence, near King’s Lynn.
For over 30 years, we’ve supplied, installed and maintained vending machines, coffee equipment, water coolers and refreshment systems for businesses across the region.
The industry has changed enormously during that time. Today’s equipment combines mechanical and electrical systems with cashless payments, telemetry, remote monitoring and increasingly sophisticated electronics – so there’s always something new to learn.
We’re a relatively small team, so you won’t simply become another number. You’ll work alongside experienced people, learn a broad range of skills and have the opportunity to take on more responsibility as your experience develops.
