We spoke to Vapouround’s Vaper Expo veterans to fi nd out
what it’s like behind the scenes and on the expo fl oor.
Here is what they told us.
Steve Culf – Sales Executive
“I go to loads of expos around the world but one thing I like about
the Vaper Expo is its location. It’s great to see loads of British brands
represented alongside international ones. There are also always
plenty of friendly faces around and new information to be shared.”
Lucy Booth – Design and Sales Support
“The Vaper Expo is hectic, manic but a LOT of fun. May 2019 was my
fi rst expo, but it was great to see all the vendors and, of course, one of
the massive highlights for me was the Vapouround Awards. The expo
gives you the chance to become fully immersed in the community.”
Josh Tysoe – Digital Marketing Manager and
Videographer
“I think it’s a fantastic opportunity for businesses to come together in
these trying times, especially our friends across the Atlantic. It’s great
we all come together as an industry at a fantastic event to share
the newest developments in hardware and juice and all the things
involved in vaping.”
Baz Bassra – Sales Executive

It’s the best three days I’ve ever done. Six months on I feel like I have
enough experience to take this expo on, I’ve got all this knowledge that
I’ve learned in the last six months. I’m looking forward to it. I can’t wait.”
Joanne Stubley – Finance Director
“My favourite thing about the Vaper Expo is the lead up to the opening.
I like seeing all the companies setting up their stands and getting to
show off all their hard work. It’s great to see all the businesses that
we work closely with, but I also love meeting new companies.”
Ali Shah – Sales Executive
“The Vaper Expo was the fi rst expo I ever attended. I was new to the
vaping industry and it really opened my eyes to the way business is
done. I built up a lot of contacts and since then I’ve been to a variety
of different shows but I’m looking forward to being back on my home
turf. The environment is buzzing!”
Kelli Toon – Sales Team Leader
“The atmosphere is exciting, fun and friendly. It is always a laugh and
there are always new brands there. It’s always busy and you get to
learn new things. When I fi rst went, I didn’t vape, but I learned a lot of
