East Midlands Businesses Refreshingly Rewarding Ltd (R+R Hub) and Posh Nosh (East Midlands) Ltd have merged to create a new, ‘£2m’ refreshments company.
The combination means that a full range of catering options, from a business breakfast, a new office break room; a Micro Market or a fully-catered corporate event is now available to East Midlands Businesses.
Posh Nosh was launched in 2001, on the back of MD Rhona King’s passion for creating and delivering the perfect event, and has been a respected corporate caterer in the East Midlands region for more than 20 years.
Rhona was joined by Rob King, now the Commercial Director of Posh Nosh and since then, the team has grown to become a multi skilled work force of caterers, drivers, and customer service experts. Dedicated to providing ‘tasty, well presented and diverse food and drink options in a business setting’.
In contrast, R+R Hub is a comparatively new venture, created by Cema Vending in response to the changing dynamics within their traditional marketplace. With a solid 20 years of trading behind it, Cema Vending identifies as ‘the leading vending machine and specialist coffee services provider in the East Midlands’, and now provides self-serve kiosks and Micro Markets to the local business community
Sharing the same goals as Posh Nosh, a drive to deliver fantastic refreshment solutions, R+R Hub are big enough to deliver, but small enough to care; and with customers being serviced across the East Midlands and beyond, the synergy between the two businesses has created a strong, multi-channel platform to improve the customer experience.
“This is such an exciting opportunity for everyone involved,” Rhona said. “This collaborative move means that we can all look forward to the future with optimism.
Meanwhile, Simon Leadley, Managing Director of R+R Hub, described the merger as ‘a perfect fit’. “Two local businesses combining to offer the complete solution means that our customers can enjoy best possible service”, he said. “It’s good news for businesses based in the East Midlands.”
The combination means that more than thirty dedicated staff are working in harmony to provide some of the best fresh food, alongside automated kiosks, to ensure that customers now have the choices that they need.
“With two such popular and successful companies coming together, it means that the concept of providing refreshments for businesses in the East Midlands has never looked fresher, tastier or more exciting”, Simon said.
