Hear what our members have to say

“For Evapo, membership of the UKVIA has proved tremendously valuable. We have experienced a very warm welcome and are enjoying the first hand access to industry news, insights into regulatory developments and frequent exchange with other players in the industry. I am participating in the Operations Executive Committee which gives us the chance to directly engage with legislative stakeholders and debate the best ways to promote vaping. We found that the UKVIA is much aligned with Evapo’s mission in forming a shared voice as an industry to help bring the vaping industry to the next stage of its growth.”

We have proudly joined the UKVIA as Full Members. Riot Squad have joined the UKVIA to ensure we, as a reputable manufacturing company, are at the forefront of any UK regulatory change, having our say on how our industry should develop and meet the needs of the end consumer, encouraging more cigarette users to convert to safer alternatives

We are passionate defenders of the vape industry and having seen the work that the UKVIA have done over the years including John's fantastic leadership, it seemed long overdue we put our names down alongside them

“Being a member of the UKVIA enables VPZ to be part of the wider engagement and education around the vaping industry with public health bodies and beyond by working together with other likeminded and professional companies that are part of the sector. UKVIA provides a great platform to help realise the the evidence-based life changing public health benefits of vaping products”
