Stax Trade Centres has grown from just a single warehouse in the outskirts of Manchester in 1981 to a leading national multi-channel wholesaler, operating from six massive branches.
With over 600 staff, Stax is at the forefront of the non-food wholesale sector with over 50,000 members.
You're likely to find a Stax retailer member in almost every town or city in the UK. This means the products that move through the Stax supply chain, touch the lives of well over a third of the UK population.
Almost half of the entire Stax team have been employed for over 10 years. Our ethos has always been to promote from within, with many of our senior team rising through the ranks.
Della joined Stax aged 18, as a shop floor Section Assistant, 34 years ago. In that time she worked in the buying office, progressing to Group Purchasing Manager before joining the IT department, and was appointed to the board of directors over 15 years ago.
Now responsible for the entire company's IT systems and data management, Della has a team of seven people reporting to her, six of whom have been promoted from within the company.
Stax now has a turnover in excess of £100m and employs over 600 staff while keeping its ‘one big family’ ethos.
The company prides itself on giving its members the highest level of service from a well-trained and helpful team of employees. No matter what their position, everyone in our team plays an active part in training so we’re all moving forward together.
Our success is totally reliant upon the success of our members; their needs are at the centre of everything we do.
Safety is paramount at Stax, so our safety record is first class. And we’re working hard to keep it that way.
Hard work pays off at Stax. We formally recognise and reward our staff who go the extra mile.
