Small Business Saturday is celebrated on the first Saturday of December in the UK. It’s a moment to recognise the independent companies bringing personality, care, quality and innovation to the UK economy. The Jar Healthy Vending is a small, independent, West-London-based business, and that’s exactly what sets us apart from many of the larger vending suppliers.
As a local, small vending company providing vending machines London, smart fridges and office coffee machines, we’re proud to beat many of the large vending suppliers on price, quality and service.
Check out our range of vending machines London, smart fridges London, and coffee machines London.
Why being a small business matters in the vending industry?
Many of the big vending providers operate on volume with thousands of machines, large teams, centralised processes. This can come at the cost of flexibility, personal service and attention to detail.
Here’s how being small helps The Jar Healthy Vending deliver something bigger:
We build personal relationships
When you get in touch with The Jar Healthy Vending, you’ll speak directly with one of our small team, not a call centre. We have a dedicated Client Relationship Manager and Client Relationship Coordinator who know our clients by name and understand their specific needs.
Our small team of operators are assigned to specific venues and are trusted with keys after getting to know clients. This means they learn building preferences, hybrid working patterns, and your team’s favourite snacks.
This human connection creates smoother operations, faster responses and a better-stocked machine.

We make faster decisions and deliver more flexible solutions
Larger vending companies often rely on rigid, bureaucratic processes which means even simple requests may require layers of approval.
At The Jar Healthy Vending, we have the autonomy to assess each request and be flexible. Decisions can be made the same day. Being a small business makes us nimble, and our clients feel the benefit of this every day.
We stock independent, healthier brands
Most large vending suppliers work with fixed product lists and bulk corporate deals.
At The Jar Healthy Vending, we handpick healthier, better-quality items often from other small UK brands. That means your staff enjoy fresh, exciting products instead of the same standard vending choices.
Whether you’re using our healthy vending machines, our smart fridge, or a combination of services, you get a thoughtful selection curated specifically for your site.
We offer better service and quality
We’re proud to be a carbon-neutral company and to have earned our SafeContractor accreditation. We do things properly because we care deeply about the details. These are the things that truly matter to The Jar Healthy Vending, and they shape our values and the service we deliver.

We bring local London knowledge and service
Many large vending companies operate nationally, whereas we focus on London. We understand busy sites, hybrid work patterns, central office demands and the importance of reliability in fast-moving environments.
Because we’re nearby, we can respond quickly and restock efficiently.
Small Business Saturday is a moment of celebration for The Jar Healthy Vending
This December 6th, we’re proud to celebrate Small Business Saturday as a business built from the ground up. We started with a simple idea to improve workplace wellbeing through fresh, healthy and appealing vending options. Today, we’re still small, still independent, and still driven by that mission. And we believe this is exactly why our service stands out among vending suppliers in London.
