Stax Trade Centres is pleased to announce the appointment of Billy Coutts as Regional Sales Representative, further strengthening its presence across Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Published 30th March 2026
Joining the business on 30th March, Billy is based out of Stax’s Glasgow branch, covering the Far North of Scotland, including the Highlands and Islands. He will work alongside existing representatives Billy Donachie and Colin Ferguson, adding further depth and experience to the regional team.
Billy brings with him over 35 years of industry experience, along with an extensive network of contacts and strong relationships across the sector. His appointment reflects Stax’s continued investment in its field sales team to support customers with expert advice, product knowledge and access to leading brands.
The new role will also support a refinement of existing territories, enabling the business to unlock further growth opportunities — particularly in Northern Ireland.
With a significant proportion of business from the Glasgow branch fulfilled via delivery, the role of the field sales team remains critical in maintaining strong customer relationships and ensuring retailers are kept up to date with the latest product developments, promotions and trading opportunities.
Nigel Wright, Joint Managing Direct, commented:
“We are delighted to welcome Billy to the team. His experience, industry knowledge and strong relationships make him a fantastic addition to our Glasgow operation.
This appointment underlines our commitment to investing in our people and strengthening our regional coverage to better support customers and drive continued growth.”
