Local to Newmarket
Newmarket is around thirty-five miles from our Hadleigh office, up through Bury St Edmunds or across from Haverhill, and it is unlike anywhere else we work. The racing industry sets the rhythm: yards are up before dawn, seven days a week, and the town fills on race days. Surveys, recommendations and account reviews happen in person; installation and servicing use the same UK-wide engineer network as every Optimus client.
We visit the site and see it at the hour it actually runs, so the machine copes with a 5am staff room rather than a 9am office.
One named contact from the first survey onwards, who comes back to check the setup still fits as the season changes.
Service calls are responded to within an average of 8 working hours by our UK-wide engineer network, the standard every Optimus site gets.

Find the site most like yours. The survey decides the detail, but this is where the conversation usually starts.
The Heath, Bury Road, the studs around the town
Staff rooms that are busy before six in the morning, every day of the year, often a long way from the nearest shop. Hot drinks and water matter more than a fancy menu.
We usually recommend
A compact bean to cup machine such as the Coffetek Vitro S1 or X1 in the staff room, mains fed water coolers, and hot drinks vending where the site runs unattended.
The High Street, Bury Road, hotels and event venues
Equine science and veterinary practices, professional firms serving the industry, and hotels and venues whose trade doubles on race days.
We usually recommend
A premium bean to cup machine such as the Franke A600 for guest-facing areas, a Vitro X1 for the office, with speciality beans and servicing planned around the racing calendar.
Studlands Park, Red Lodge, Mildenhall, the A14 and A11
Shift-based sites with break rooms that have to work unattended, snacks and cold drinks on the floor and water that does not mean carrying bottles.
We usually recommend
Floor-standing hot drinks vending with contactless payment, a snack and cold drinks combo, and water dispensers on the floor.
From Newmarket we also cover Exning, Kentford, Red Lodge, Mildenhall, Brandon, Soham, Fordham, Burwell, Ely and Haverhill: CB8 and CB7, IP28 and CB9, either side of the Suffolk and Cambridgeshire border.
A representative shortlist. Every machine is available on rental or as part of a fully managed package.

Common questions from Newmarket workplaces.
Yes. Newmarket, Exning, Kentford, Red Lodge, Mildenhall, Brandon, Soham, Fordham, Burwell, Ely and Haverhill. Our office is in Hadleigh, in the same county, so surveys and account reviews happen in person. Bury St Edmunds and Cambridge each have their own page.
Yes, and it is a different brief from an office. Staff rooms are busy from before six, seven days a week, and the machine has to be simple, reliable and sized for a rush that happens once a day. A compact bean to cup machine or a hot drinks vending machine, plus a mains fed water cooler, covers most yards. We survey at the hour the yard actually runs.
For most 10 to 60 person offices, a compact bean to cup machine such as the Coffetek Vitro S1 or X1 with fresh beans and a milk system, on a fully managed package. Guest-facing areas in hotels and venues lean towards the Franke A600. We check plumbing, power and peak demand before naming a model.
Yes. Planned servicing and account reviews are scheduled around the racing calendar, so nothing is booked for a day the town is full. Breakdowns are responded to within an average of 8 working hours by our UK-wide engineer network whatever the date.
Yes. Rental and fully managed packages start with teams of around ten and include the machine, installation, servicing and beans for one monthly fee, with no capital outlay. Outright purchase with a servicing contract is available too.
Yes. Mains fed water coolers and bottled water dispensers for staff rooms, yards and shop floors, installed and serviced on the same account as the coffee machine, with one invoice for the lot.
