The Vegan Society sponsored All-Party Parliamentary Group on Vegetarianism and Veganism (APPG)

Parliamentarians and industry leaders gathered to celebrate the value of British vegan business, as the APPG recently held their annual parliamentary reception to discuss the economic, environmental and ethical benefits of the plant-based sector. Speakers at the event included The Vegan Society CEO Steve Hamon, Candy Kitten co-founders Jamie Laing and Edward Williams and world-record-breaking athlete Fiona Oakes. We were also very pleased to showcase the vibrant range of vegan products available in the UK from Vegan Trademark holders such as Walkers, Misfits, Clearspring, Crack’d, Danone, Clive’s Pies, One Planet Pizza, Eat Real Snacks and Lola’s Cupcakes. The event was a resounding success, it is inspiring to see that the vegan industry is receiving backing from so many influential people within both the government and commercial enterprises, and lays promise for even more growth in the future!
