Testimonials

“Having the Vegetarian Society accreditation is hugely important to our brand. We’ve worked with the Vegetarian Society for many years and developed a strong relationship with their fantastic team. Beyond just accreditation, the marketing opportunities that they’ve been able to offer us have been extremely useful and we’re looking forward to continuing to work together. ”

– Amy Bellchambers, Senior Marketing Manager, HIGGIDY

“It was vital to us as a new brand to ensure that our products were accredited Vegan by The Vegetarian Society, as we emerged into the market of Vegan Wellness. The instantly recognisable trademarks give our customers a confidence, which I don’t believe could be conveyed by any other accreditation. We look forward to growing our brand by working alongside The Vegetarian Society for many years to come.”

– Claire Brewster, Founder of The Vegan Wellness Co
