2025 kicked off with a bang for Stax Leeds as they hosted their first trade week of year. The three-day event brought together several suppliers and industry experts direct to the Stax customer base.
Published 21st January 2025

Suppliers provided hands-on product demonstrations and exclusive in-branch giveaways. Some were even brave enough to set up demo spaces outside in the thawing winter conditions.
The event, organised by branch manager Mark Duff, was a huge success and a fantastic way to kick off the new year. Over the past 12 months, Mark has made significant improvements to the branch, including a complete remodelling of the store, creating a fresh and engaging shopping experience for customers.
Mark shared, “At Stax, we’re always looking for ways to go the extra mile for our customers, and this felt like the perfect way to start the year on a positive note.”
“We’ve been incredibly fortunate to receive loads of support from our brilliant suppliers, and I can’t thank them enough for their help. We’re very lucky to pull this calibre of line up together and our customers really appreciate being able to spend time and gain insights and information that they normally wouldn’t get.”
Mark continued, “equally, it gives the suppliers a chance to meet our reps team and hear what customers are looking for.”
This is just the start for Stax Leeds, who are pulling together an exciting line up of clearance and trade events in the next few months. For more information about these events, follow our social media channels.
