“On a mission to make healthy vending a reality…”
By The Brunette
Healthy Nibbles is a new concept in health and wellness vending, by supplying fully serviced and maintained SMARTvending machines stocked only with nutritionally certified, sustainable products.
Founder and managing director Sara Roberts is an experienced business leader and serial entrepreneur who has worked with multi-sector clients of all sizes, nurturing early stage businesses to succeed.
Sara has also previously built a strategic brand consultancy based in Sub-Saharan
Africa from the ground up.
See the short video below about Healthy Nibbles, which will take you to the Crowdcube funding platform.
Crowdcube, the world’s leading crowdfunding investment platform, is hosting the Healthy Nibbles campaign, which seeks to raise investment of £100,000 for 8% of the company in order to expedite business growth through increasing the number of vending machines, and expanding the company’s geographical reach in addition to marketing, communications and sales support.
Healthy Nibbles has assessed the UK refreshment vending market turnover at approximately £1.85bn per annum, delivered through 462,700 machines, vending 6 billion items per year. But with growing concerns over vending machine contents the company sees a gap in the market, supplying healthy snacking options.
The company’s proposition involves offering their machines at no-cost or for a low-monthly charge depending on volume of sales. The machines are remotely monitored to ensure effective restocking and assessment of popular items. SMARTvending is also a sustainable solution; delivering best in class energy efficiency, as well as a 78% recyclable vending machine.
Thus far Healthy Nibbles has installed vending machines at the likes of the BBC, with additional pre-orders in the oil and gas and service sectors, as well as working with Tree of Life, the largest wholesale distributor in the nutrition and healthy lifestyle channel
Healthy Nibble has pre-qualified for SEIS and EIS tax relief, and have been invited to the high-growth Scottish Enterprise pipeline.
