Press Release April 2009
Autobar and Cafe Bar merge to form Autobar UK Ltd.
Leading brands, Cafe Bar and Autobar (both part of the Autobar
Group) have grown significantly over the past 5 years in the
UK.
In order to build on this growth, and strengthen their UK market
position, a new company Autobar UK Ltd. has been launched.
The new company will still retain the brands Autobar Vending and
Cafe Bar, and both brands will continue to trade in their market
sectors, offering industry leading solutions and brands which
customers know and trust.
Autobar Vending is the UK’s most dynamic vending provider, whilst
Cafe Bar is the leading supplier of hot beverage solutions.
Both divisions are experts in providing bespoke solutions to suit
their customer’s needs and objectives.
The new structure, implemented by Steven Murray CEO, will allow the
company to get closer to their customers and enable them to better
understand their markets and business challenges, placing them in a
stronger position to deliver more customised, creative and
profitable business solutions.
“Both Autobar and Cafe Bar have always been customer focussed
organisations and we realised that in order to better focus on our
customers’ needs we needed to utilise the resources and best
practices within each business more effectively. For example,
by combining our field service engineer networks we now have the
largest engineer network in the industry. Creating one
umbrella company will allow us to provide enhanced customer
service.”
Simon Bracken, Sales and Marketing Director.
The new company is effective as of now, however it is stressed that
this new structure will not affect any existing supply arrangements
with either brand, and customers will still receive the excellent
levels of service and support they currently enjoy.
