A new home for bigger and better things: Boxbar Tech makes investment in British manufacturing

Boxbar Tech, a startup specialising in automated self-serve drinks solutions for events and venues, has announced plans for a new manufacturing facility and office space in the UK.

In a LinkedIn post, it said: "A new home for bigger and better things. Last week, we took a major step forward, signing the lease for our brand new, soon to be state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and office space."

It added: "As a UK business, we’re proud to be investing in British manufacturing, creating jobs and driving innovation right here in the North of England. We can’t wait to welcome our team to the new space and watch it come to life. This new home will play a key role in the next chapter of the Boxbar Tech revolution as the first of many new facilities in our global expansion."

2024 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

Boxbar Tech was among the winners at the sixth edition of the RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
