Tomorrow’s FM identify the Micro Market as one of the most innovative workplace facilities.

Those who are following us on social media will know that the Express Refreshments Micro Market has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Tomorrow’s FM Awards!

We were informed of the news last week and after sharing the launch of our latest Micro Market for a client in the West Midlands, we thought we’d detail just what the prestigious nomination means.

What are the Tomorrow’s FM Awards?

Tomorrow’s FM is a digital magazine sharing insightful news surrounding Facilities Management.

From general news to breakthrough innovation within the industry, Tomorrow’s FM provides easy online access to businesses that want to be at the forefront of the industry.

The Tomorrow’s FM Awards shine an even brighter light on the most innovative companies and their products and services. They celebrate the great work that these companies do, in line with the benefits they deliver to the end user.

These awards run every year and nominees are selected via multiple channels. You can head online to make a nomination yourself, but Tomorrow’s FM are also consistently pro-active in researching the market for exclusive editors’ picks.

For the Express Refreshments Micro Market, we were selected via a nomination online. Combined with the panel being impressed by what they were seeing about us online, they felt it was fitting for us to be included.

We’re pleased that both Tomorrow’s FM and the wider market are recognising our innovative workplace refreshment facility.

What makes the Express Refreshments Micro Market so innovative?

Right since we were the first company to introduce the Micro Market to the UK in 2013, we knew the advanced innovation was like nothing ever seen in workplace refreshment facilities.

Over time, more and more businesses and organisations have started to notice the benefits the Micro Market brings, something that has certainly accelerated over the past few years.

This nomination is the latest recognition that we’re thrilled to have received.

It’s just so well prepared for today’s working world. 24/7 availability is ideal for the many businesses still adopting hybrid working, whilst the self-service design makes it simple for the end user and convenient for business leaders.

It’s fantastic for larger sites that perhaps don’t have easy access to refreshments off site, representing a grand employee perk that really puts employee wellbeing at the heart.

The Micro Market oversees a new dawn for workplace refreshments in line with what the modern workforce wants. It really does help overhaul company culture and encourage a high level of staff retention.

And with cashless payments and regular promotions and discounts that help replicate the traditional convenience store, it’s no surprise that the Micro Market is considered to be one of the most innovative workplace facilities.

Express Refreshments also impressed with the service behind the Micro Market. An advanced facility requires advanced innovation behind the scenes, and our market uses leading software totally bespoke to us to help deliver an excellent customer experience.

Telemetric insights help us identify purchasing habits in real time, so we can tailor ongoing replenishment to suit demand. Not only do this provide the right products at the right time, but it also helps us reduce waste and drive efficiency, as we only carry the items that are needed.

The Express Refreshments Micro Market is a forward-thinking approach to workplace refreshments that delivers a personal solution to businesses.

The next stage of the Tomorrow’s FM Awards 2022.

It is an absolute honour to be selected as a finalist in the Tomorrow’s FM Awards. We are now up against a massive number of businesses whose innovative mindsets are parallel to our own, so the next stage won’t be easy.

The next stage will see our Micro Market feature in the Tomorrow’s FM Awards 2023 guide, which will be distributed to more than 62,000 readers. The finalists will be whittled down to just ten in April 2023 via public vote, before the last three will be crowned winners later in the year.

We hope we can carry this journey on as far as we can. Fingers crossed!
