Press Release – November 2009 Automatic Vending Association Appoints New CEO

After an extensive search the Automatic Vending Association (AVA) is delighted to announce the appointment of Jonathan Hilder as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).  Jonathan will take up the role on 1 December 2009 and replaces Janette Gledhill, who left the AVA at the end of June after 16 years service.
Jonathan brings to the AVA over 20 years career commercial experience, of which a significant proportion has been involved directly in the finance, leasing and vending markets.  As a result, he has a sound industry expertise and knowledge.
His first contact with the vending industry came as an industry specialist with Anglo Leasing, and subsequently with Schroder Leasing and Siemens Financial Services, where he managed sales teams that were responsible for funding in excess of £200m of machines into the vending sector over a number of years.  More recently as consultant to a number of vending companies, he has specialised in working with small to medium sized businesses and large food brands, advising and mentoring on business development and the introduction of new technology into the vending market.
Always an active supporter of the AVA, Jonathan sat on the South East Region committee for 10 years, and has been a regular contributor to the vending trade magazines.
Andy Porter, the AVA Chairman, comments ‘Earlier this year the Board undertook a thorough review of the Association’s strategy, which resulted in the identification of a small number of strategic priority areas for future focus.  With effective execution of our plans, we believe the AVA will be even more effective in representing and promoting the interests of the vending industry and all its members.’  Andy continues ‘During the interview process Jonathan not only impressively communicated his vision for the Association, but also demonstrated a unique passion, understanding and total commitment to the vending industry and to the people who work within it.  The combination of these factors made him a natural choice and we are very much looking forward to him joining as our new CEO’ Jonathan Hilder says ‘It is not often that an opportunity presents itself that feels 100% right, but the role of AVA CEO is one of those.  In 1987 my introduction to the vending industry started a real personal passion for the industry and the way it is perceived. The AVA is the ‘The Voice of Vending’ and the champion of all those who work within our industry. Our market has changed and the AVA has a desire to modernise in a way that enhances the pre eminent position that the AVA already holds. The AVA is developing its service and offering to members in order to meet the challenges of today and in the future.

GTI Club – First European Showing 

 The FER Interazar exhibition in Madrid saw the European launch of ‘GTI Club - Supermini Festa’. On show was the deluxe version of the game. The game is the latest incarnation of the classic arcade racer that sees players competing around the streets of various cities in head-to-head racing and also in multiple very unique and fun “mini games”.

The product was such a hit at the show that the first orders were placed even before mass production had started.

Gerald Steinberg of Oasis Retail Services Limited said “When I saw the game being played constantly at the show, it reminded me of the original that I had huge success with. I know this product will be a strong earning title therefore I have ordered the game without income testing”.

John Stergides of Electrocoin commented, “Gerald flew to the exhibition and saw the game.  He can remember the original version that Electrocoin manufactured of 16 years ago and the huge earnings from it.  He has ordered the first two deluxe units from the production line for installation atBelfast International Airport”.

The game will also be shown at the Preview 2010 inLondon and the ENADA Show in Rome.  For more information please contact Electrocoin.
