About us and our leadership

Who we are

Retail North is a specialist distributor of dry herb vaporizers and accessories. We don't make devices: we work with the brands that do.

We supply specialist retailers, clinics and pharmacies across the UK and the EU, at wholesale or through dropshipping, so partners can sell the full range with no need to hold stock.

Where we are

We are based in Banbridge, and we serve the UK and the EU from Northern Ireland.
