Nisa retailers to be honoured on 'UK Independents’ Day'

Nisa is backing the national campaign of ‘UK Independence Day’ by promoting the reopening of independent businesses this weekend.

In the run up to Saturday 4th July, where many pubs, bars and restaurants are expected to open their doors after more than 100 days since closing, the c-store retailer will be honouring their independent partners.


A social media campaign supporting the national event #UKIndieDay has been created to raise awareness and celebrate the efforts made by Nisa partners during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Messages from Nisa partners about the role they continue to play in supporting their communities throughout lockdown will be the main focus

Steve Leach, sales director at Nisa said: “It’s our business to support independent retailers all year round and so on UK Independents’ Day we are especially active in our promotion of the fantastic contribution they make.

“The way in which Nisa partners have adapted to trading over recent months, amid such challenging circumstances, is a real credit to them all, given the pace of change and operational challenges faced and is testament to the strength of their independence.”

To support the activity follow #UKIndieDay on social media platforms this weekend.

Giving a mixed welcome to Tobacco and Vapes Bill introduced in the parliament today (5), trade association for the UK vaping industry Independent British Vape Trade Association (IBVTA) has highlighted the need to balance restricting access of vaping to young people with ensuring adults who smoke can access the most popular and effective tool for quitting.

The Bill introduced in Parliament today (5) comes after separate legislation that will ban single use vapes from June next year. A further announcement that liquid used in refillable vapes and prefilled pods will be subject to a duty of £2.20 per 10ml came in the Autumn Budget last week.
