The 9th Vapouround Global Awards - An evening of recognition!
For many, this has been a challenging year. The vape sector as it stands is surrounded by uncertainty as a result of impending changes in product regulation, the UK’s ban on disposable vapes, looming threats of further country-by-country restrictions and potential flavour bans…
However, what can always be guaranteed is the determination, passion and dedication of the global industry to push through difficult times and continue to save lives with safer nicotine alternatives.
Every year, the Vapouround team are delighted to create an event that truly allows the vaping industry to come together, let their hair down and celebrate everyone’s annual achievements… and that is exactly what happened on the evening of Friday, October 25.
Attendees arrived in style at the National Conference Centre, Solihull, dressed in cocktail attire and ready to enjoy the nights events.
Now in its ninth year, the Vapouround Global Awards have firmly established itself as the premier annual awards event for the international vaping sector.
With complimentary drinks and canapés in hand, industry professionals, business leaders, advocates, press and product reviewers made their way to their seats to watch host Nick Einhorn introduce the first awards and opening LED hoop act.
During the ceremony, Vapouround paid tribute to a beloved industry colleague and friend, Peter Savage, founder of Premier E-Cigs, who sadly passed away earlier this year.
Peter’s son, Matt, shared a heartfelt speech on behalf of the Savage family and team at Premier E-Cigs, finishing off with an emotional toast to his legacy.
The highlight of the evening for many was the return of visual DJ act Afishal, who opened the Vapouround Awards ceremony in 2022.
Guests could be seen dancing along to the electrifying drum beats and filming the visual performance of the former Britain’s Got Talent contestant.
The evening allowed time for attendees to unwind and reconnect with industry peers, accompanied by a diverse selection of food cuisines and a three-tiered mini dessert platter kindly sponsored by Kardinal.
Throughout the night, 38 awards were presented with FEELM, ELFBAR, Geekvape and Vaporesso taking home some of the biggest awards including, The Global Achievement Award, Industry Leader, Outstanding Contribution to the Vape Industry and the Vapouround Hall of Fame award respectively.
Congratulations to all of this year’s deserving winners and a huge thank you to all of our sponsors who helped make this evening possible.
Next year marks the 10th anniversary of the Vapouround Global Awards, and it promises to be spectacular.
The Vapouround team look forward to welcoming the industry back next year for another incredible evening!
