Yorkshire firm Refreshment Systems expands nationally with Neubria partnership
Bradford, Yorkshire-based Refreshment Systems (RSL) has announced an official partnership with Neubria, marking another milestone in the company’s continued national expansion from its Yorkshire roots.
Proudly founded and headquartered in Bradford, Refreshment Systems has grown from a regional family-run business into one of the UK’s most forward-thinking vending and refreshment providers. This latest partnership highlights how a Yorkshire company is driving innovation in the fitness and leisure sector, combining smart technology with premium nutrition to reshape traditional vending and unlock new growth opportunities nationwide.
The partnership is designed to bring convenient, science-led performance nutrition directly into fitness environments, giving customers access to products that support focus, energy, recovery, and overall wellbeing — exactly when they need it most.
Through RSL’s smart vending and refreshment solutions, gym members will benefit from 24/7 access to Neubria’s neuroscience-backed nutrition, positioned at key touchpoints such as reception areas, workout zones, and exit points. Whether pre-workout, post-session, or on the go, customers can make healthier, performance-driven choices without queues or staffed retail counters.
For gym operators, the partnership enhances the member experience through premium, functional nutrition aligned to fitness goals, while creating new revenue streams via intelligent, self-service retail. Built-in telemetry provides data-led insights to understand purchasing behaviour and optimise product ranges, delivered through low-maintenance, cashless solutions that integrate seamlessly into modern gym environments.

Steve May, Refreshment Systems, commented on the partnership:
“Today’s gym members expect more than traditional vending. By partnering with Neubria, we are giving fitness centres the ability to offer premium, performance-focused nutrition through smart technology—supporting both member wellbeing and operator growth.”
Jonny Kennedy, Neubria added:
“Our goal has always been to make performance nutrition practical, not just aspirational. This partnership changes the narrative around vending, from confectionery to best-in-class, healthy snacks that genuinely support training and gains. As consumer habits shift towards convenience and buying products in the environments where they’re actually used, this model allows gym operators to offer science-backed nutrition exactly when it’s needed, at no cost to them, while unlocking a simple, passive income stream.”
The rollout will see Neubria products introduced across selected RSL vending and refreshment platforms within gyms and fitness centres nationwide, supported by joint promotions, digital content, and future innovation around personalised nutrition.
From its Bradford headquarters to fitness facilities across the UK, Refreshment Systems continues to demonstrate how a Yorkshire business can lead on technology, innovation and sector growth.
