Smart fridge in Leeds
from the Aire Valley to the wards

Leeds Teaching Hospitals is one of the city's largest employers, with more than 20,000 staff and wards that never close. To the south-east, the Aire Valley is home to around 400 businesses and 15,000 people, mostly in manufacturing, wholesale and distribution, with an enterprise zone built for logistics. Both run on shifts, and both are short of food after hours.

Where people work

Hospitals,
an enterprise zone and offices

Leeds Teaching Hospitals employs more than 20,000 people and cares for over a million patients a year, with estates, facilities and clinical teams working around the clock. In the Aire Valley, next to the East Leeds Link Road, the enterprise zone covers 142 hectares across four sites, planned largely for logistics and industrial space. The wider valley already has about 400 businesses and some 15,000 jobs in manufacturing, wholesale and distribution. Many work night shifts on sites where the nearest shop is a drive away. In the city centre, finance, legal and public-sector offices employ teams who often work late.

Delivery and set-up

Delivered to Leeds,
supported remotely

We deliver the fridge to your Leeds site; delivery and commissioning are agreed for your address. The software, warranty, remote support and spare parts are included. Restocking is organised by you, with your team, your caterer or a local supplier, guided by sales per product.

What you see on your site
  • Night staff live on vending-machine snacks
  • The canteen closes in the early evening
  • Agency staff don't know the local options
  • The break is too short to drive anywhere
  • Weekends have nothing on site

In hospitals and large sites, a catering team often exists already; the fridge extends it at night and at weekends. What remains is the funding choice.

Questions from Leeds
Can an NHS trust install a smart fridge?

Yes, in a staff area away from patient care. Infection prevention and estates decide on the location; procurement rules decide the process.

Does it work at night without staff?

Yes. Open with a card, app or badge, take what you need, and payment happens automatically.

Who restocks it?

Your catering team, your caterer or a local supplier. The software shows what sells overnight.
