Leading e-liquid manufacturer Flavour Warehouse Ltd., owner of the Vampire Vape brand, has today announced the acquisition of Premier Retail Limited in a deal that will see it expand its UK footprint and cement its position as one of the leading players in the vaping hardware market.

Kanesh Khilosia, Director at Flavour Warehouse Ltd., said: “Premier Vaping is a natural fit for us, due to the brand’s firmly established position in the market and the wide range of products they offer – the acquisition of this business is the next step in the development of our extended growth strategy.”
Calum Cole Clark, Director at Premier Vaping, said: “We’re delighted to be partnering with such an industry giant as Flavour Warehouse Ltd. – the businesses perfectly complement each other and we’re looking forward to being able to create a wider offering for current and new customers.”
Phil Boyle, CEO at Flavour Warehouse added: “The acquisition of Premier Vaping is a huge leap forward for us in building a one-stop solution for our customers, be that a broader product offering, additional expertise, or the capacity to fulfil a greater number of our customer’s needs.”
Within the next five years, directors at Flavour Warehouse Ltd. plan to significantly grow the company via an organic and acquisitive growth strategy, expanding its reach through a multi-channel, global approach.
