FULFILL JOINS LAVAZZA FROM COMPASS GROUP IN A
‘SERVICE BREAKTHROUGH’
Fulfill, one of the country’s leading vending
fulfilment companies, has joined the Lavazza
family from Compass Group. The business has
been renamed Lavazza Professional Operating
Services.
The move is further evidence of Lavazza
Professional’s commitment to improving both its
product portfolio and its customer services.
“We’re hugely excited to welcome a wellestablished,
reputable and market-leading service
provider to the Lavazza family”, said Ashley Weller,
UK Market Director, Lavazza Professional. “It
represents a service breakthrough for our business,
extending the scope of Lavazza Professional by
allowing us to provide a ‘one-stop-shop’ solution for
machines, drinks, snacks and servicing.
“We’ve been hugely appreciative of the excellent
service that Fulfill have o ered our customers
for more than 20 years,” Weller added, “so it was
a logical step for us to bring the operation into
Lavazza Professional, when the opportunity arose.”
The transition, led by Ken MacIsaac, Director
of Operating Services and Project O ice, Lavazza
Professional, was carefully planned and managed
by teams at both organisations. “We’re
incredibly pleased with how smoothly it
has progressed”, he said. “The changes
have been well received within both
businesses and we’re looking forward to
unlocking the new opportunities that the
future holds.”
Weller is confident that the combined
reputation of both businesses will
strengthen the presence of Lavazza
Professional in the market. “Vending is a
business that’s all about convenience”, he said. “We
believe that the vending service we o er should be
every bit as easy and convenient for our customers,
as enjoying a top-quality drink is for their
consumers. Now we’re able to o er a fully managed
service, ‘under one roof’, that’s designed to deliver
market-leading SLAs, we’re another step closer to
achieving that ambition. With Lavazza Professional
Operating Services at our disposal, we can eliminate
hassle, deliver exceptional service and partner with
customers to deliver a solution that really works for
their business now, and in the future.”

HYGIENE MESSAGE MATS A PRACTICAL APPROACH
TO SANITATION COMMUNICATIONS
Kleen-Tex Industries is one of the
world's leading manufacturers
of precision mats, with global
operations in Europe, Asia,
North America, Africa and
South America. With more than
50 years' experience of mat
production and innovation,
Kleen-Tex has developed a wide
range of products to keep dirt
out of buildings and to help
protect people's health and
well-being.
The COVID-19 pandemic has
been a di icult and challenging
time for many businesses, but the
KleenTex supply chain has remained
strong and resilient throughout
this di icult period. New hygiene
and cleanliness procedures have been introduced
to protect Kleen-Tex employees, and everyone has
remained safe and well during this time.
Promoting hygiene and cleanliness has been one
of the biggest on-going challenges since the start of
the pandemic, and Kleen-Tex has seen a significant
change in its product mix, following the introduction
of many hygiene message mats such as “Please
Keep Your Distance” and “Wash Your
Hands”. These are visual reminders
for all places where people may come
together.
Gary Haynes, Kleen-Tex Managing
Director, said: “Our hygiene mats
have been extremely successful, as
printed floor mats o er a professional,
practical approach to both message
communication and floor level
hygiene.”
Kleen-Tex has since been awarded
the ISO 14001:2015 Environmental
Standard Certification for the
production of textile/rubberbacked
floor mats for industrial and
individual customers. This certificate
is the international standard that
specifies requirements for an e ective
environmental management system (EMS). “I'm
extremely proud of the team's achievement in
attaining this important accreditation during this
di icult period,” said Gary Haynes, Managing Director.
