What It Means to Be a Member of Associated Vending Services

If you’ve spent a bit of time looking into vending companies, you might have come across the name Associated Vending Services (AVS) and wondered what it actually means.

For us at Cymraeg Vending, being part of AVS isn’t just about having a logo on our website. It’s something we’re genuinely proud of because it reflects how we work and the values we’ve built our business on for over 40 years.

So, what is Associated Vending Services (AVS)?

AVS stands for Associated Vending Services Ltd, a group made up of some of the best independent vending companies in the UK. It’s not a franchise or a sales club - it’s a network of businesses that share one goal: to deliver better vending services through quality, trust, and collaboration.

Every member is hand-picked based on their reputation, service standards, and professionalism. In other words, you don’t just “sign up.” You’re invited because your company has proven it can uphold the high standards AVS expects.

That’s why being a member really means something.

Why We’re Proud to Be Part of It

Being an AVS member means we’re part of a community of like-minded companies who genuinely care about their customers.

It gives us access to:

• Industry knowledge that helps us keep improving what we do

• Training and support that keeps our team up to date with safety and compliance

• Exclusive supplier partnerships that help us offer better products at better prices

But more importantly, it connects us to a group of people who share the same values - honesty, reliability, and doing right by their customers.

That’s always been at the heart of Cymraeg Vending, and AVS helps us continue that.

What It Means for Our Customers

For you, AVS membership means you’re working with a vending company that’s:

• Trusted and recognised in the UK industry

• Committed to quality in everything from maintenance to stock selection

• Supported by a wider network of experts, suppliers, and technicians

It also means we’re not standing still. We’re constantly learning, evolving, and improving how we deliver our services - whether that’s introducing more sustainable products, smarter vending technology, or expanding our local support across Wales.

Why It Matters to Us

When we first joined AVS, it wasn’t about chasing an award or a title. It was about being part of something bigger - a group that’s helping to raise the standard of vending across the UK.

We’ve always believed that local businesses can deliver national-quality service, and AVS has given us the platform to do that.

Being an independent, family-run business in Wales means our customers aren’t just names on a spreadsheet. They’re schools, offices, and hospitals we’ve worked with for years - people we know by name. And through AVS, we have the resources and relationships to support them even better.

In a Nutshell

Being part of Associated Vending Services means we’re held to the same standards as the best in the industry - and we wouldn’t want it any other way.

It gives us access to new ideas, trusted suppliers, and industry expertise, all while staying true to what makes us who we are: a local business that cares about its customers.

So when you see the AVS logo on our vans or website, you can be confident you’re working with a company that’s committed to quality, supported by the best, and always striving to improve.
