Basingstoke-based vending services provider Selecta has secured a contract to provide vending services at the Port of Dover, the UK’s leading cross-channel ferry port, in Kent.

The Port of Dover was used by more than 14 million passengers, 2.8 million tourist cars, 105,000 coaches and 2.3 million lorries during 2006. As part of the agreement, Selecta will supply 13 machines offering vended hot and cold beverages and confectionery products at a number of locations including the port’s travel centre, freight centre, arrivals hall and coach and passenger lanes.

Selecta has also introduced Project Apple at the port, a consumer-driven vending concept featuring Selecta-branded can and bottle vending machines which gives the flexibility of offering a variety of brand leading products across the soft drinks sectors. Selecta sales and marketing director Jonathan Barr:

We are delighted to be working with the Port of Dover – England’s gateway to the Continent with millions of holidaymakers and businesspeople passing through it each year.

Selecta has considerable experience serving the transport and travel sector where we provide vending services to customers at airports, railway stations and at roadside locations throughout the UK.
