In today’s fast-paced business world, creating an engaging and productive workplace is more important than ever. Coffee machines, often underestimated, are becoming essential tools in fostering collaboration and boosting employee morale.
We recently caught up with James Tuck, Director of Admiral Vending, to discuss how leasing coffee machines through their partnership with Tower Leasing is transforming workplaces. From enhancing employee satisfaction to driving business growth, James shares his insights into why flexible finance options are the future of workplace upgrades.
1. Hi James, thank you for sitting down with us again. How’s everything been going since we last caught up with you?
Very well thanks, things seem to be getting busier and busier, and we have added a few automations in the background to speed things up for our customers, which seem to be appreciated.
2. Have you found that your customers have been receptive to your leasing options this year?
Definitely, in this last year 100% of our customers moved forward with a lease option, it seems that more companies are making use of their capital for expansion and leasing equipment that’s a depreciating assets that will eventually need updating. Which makes a lot of sense.
3. We understand you have released a book The Productive Perk: How Coffee Machines Can Transform Your Office. What can you tell us about it and what inspired you to write it?
The inspiration really came from observing how small changes, like installing a coffee machine, can make a massive difference in workplace culture and productivity. Coffee is often seen as just a beverage, but it’s a tool that brings people together, fuels creativity, and provides a much-needed break during the workday. I wanted to share how such a simple addition can transform an office environment.
4. How do you think coffee machines enhance productivity in the workplace?
It’s all about the ripple effect. When employees have easy access to high-quality coffee, they’re more energized and more likely to engage with each other in spontaneous conversations, which often lead to creative problem-solving. Coffee breaks also serve as natural pauses, allowing employees to step away from their desks, refresh, and come back with a clearer mind. These small moments add up to a more collaborative and efficient work environment.
5. The book mentions the benefits of investing in new coffee machines for directors, business owners and office managers. Can you explain this?
Directors benefit because a more engaged and productive workforce leads to better business outcomes. Business owners see a return on investment through increased employee satisfaction and retention, and for office managers, it’s about improving day-to-day operations. Coffee machines streamline break times, reduce the need for off-site coffee runs, and create a central point for team members to interact, which can improve office morale.
6. In what way has your partnership with Tower Leasing helped to make this vision more accessible to businesses?
Tower Leasing plays a crucial role. Leasing options make it easier for businesses to access top-tier coffee machines without the upfront costs. For companies looking to enhance their office without major capital expenditure, leasing offers flexibility and affordability. Plus, having a provider like Tower Leasing simplifies the process, ensuring businesses can upgrade their office amenities without hassle.
7. How do you see leasing benefits businesses looking to acquire coffee machines?
Leasing allows businesses to stay adaptable. As needs evolve, companies can upgrade their machines without having to worry about the depreciation of an owned asset. It’s also great for companies with fluctuating needs, such as growing teams or changing office spaces. With leasing, there’s room to scale and adjust as the company’s requirements change, making it a sustainable solution.
8. What would you suggest if customers are unsure about what machine best suits their needs and budget?
If anyone wants to see what the ideal machine for their office is, we now have the instant quote generator form up and running that will work out exactly which machine is most suitable for the office and email through the details straight through!
9. What’s in store for Admiral Vending as you look ahead to 2025?
In 2025, We plan to keep expanding the adoption of office coffee machines across different industries, emphasizing their impact on boosting productivity, staff retention, and satisfaction. The company will leverage tools like a coffee profit calculator to demonstrate the financial benefits of investing in high-quality coffee solutions to retail environments. Through our partnership with Tower Leasing, we will offer flexible financing options to make these machines accessible to more and more businesses.
We’d like to extend a big thank you to James for once again sharing his valuable insights with us.
