Vector Consumer Ltd. distributes a wide range of products.  The Company directly employees c. 15 colleagues, based on one site within the United Kingdom.

In addition, we have a Confidential Reporting & Whistleblowing Policy which encourages colleagues to report concerns regarding unlawful or unethical conduct at work.  Concerns may be reported internally or via a confidential external helpline.
