A partnership with Inspired Entertainment has enabled Bob Rudd and SX Leisure to expand services to 1,000 pubs, boosting capacity, creating jobs and strengthening nationwide support.
Bob Rudd and SX Leisure have partnered with Inspired Entertainment to deliver enhanced services to an additional 1,000 pubs across the country.
The move has significantly strengthened both firms’ positions in the hospitality supply chain, driving notable business growth and creating new employment opportunities.
“It’s been a busy few months, but we couldn’t be happier with how things have gone,” said Nick Rudd, MD at Bob Rudd. “We now supply a significant portfolio of pubs previously supplied by Inspired under mutually beneficial terms, and this has given us the opportunity to bring our service-first model to even more venues. We have had fantastic feedback from customers. It’s a real testament to the dedication of our entire team – both existing staff and new arrivals.”
Rudd added: “The move has also strengthened staffing – with new colleagues joining the business – and enhanced our ability to provide responsive, high-quality support nationwide. We’re seeing the benefits of scale without compromising the independent, service-led approach for which the business is known.”
Through their collaboration with Inspired, Bob Rudd and SX Leisure have increased supply capacity by more than 1,800 machines across 1,000 venues. SX Leisure alone has reported a 30 percent rise in business, with machines seamlessly integrated into a network spanning from Northumberland and Cumbria to the South Coast of England.
“It’s been an exciting challenge for both our existing team and those who’ve joined us during this process,” said Greg Wood, director at SX Leisure. “The response from both our longstanding clients and new venues has been overwhelmingly positive. Our new colleagues have hit the ground running, and I can’t thank the entire team enough for delivering the full SX Leisure experience at scale.”
Inspired selected both companies to manage the major transition aimed at improving operational efficiencies, field services and leasing provision for gaming machines within the pub sector.
“Inspired remains fully committed to the UK pub market, and this collaboration ensures that pubs and customers involved continue to receive the highest-quality games, terminals, service and support.” concluded Ian Shreeve, VP and GM gaming sales UK at Inspired. “This partnership highlights Inspired’s ongoing commitment to excellence and its position as a leader in delivering outstanding gaming experiences.”
