VPZ are the UK’s market leading online and national retailer of quality electronic cigarette and vaping merchandise, stocking a large range of e-liquids, hardware, accessories and more. VPZ was founded in 2012 after the owners found that vaping was the only thing that helped them successfully quit smoking.
Fueled with the desire to help more people kick the habit and armed with the knowledge that in 2012 there were approximately 12 million smokers in the UK, the owners opened the first VPZ store in Leith, Edinburgh. Since then, VPZ has grown rapidly and organically, reaching its current Turnover of £36m in 2022 and projected Turnover of £45m in 2023.
VPZ has an exciting opportunity for a Financial Controller to join their ambitious owner-managed company and will be based in the current team in Edinburgh.
