Stax Joint MD, David Hibbert commented on the ever growing trade show:
“Our visitor numbers are growing year on year, with last year thousands of retailers in attendance placing orders directly with the reps or taking stock directly from the aisles. We’ve got over 150 of the major brands attending including Scotts, Stanley Black & Decker, PPG, Henkel, ERA and Dencon Electricals to name just a few.”
Hibbert continued, “We’ve been working with all suppliers to put together a selection of amazing deals that will only be available to those attending one of the shows, so retailers wishing to attend are advised to register their interest early to ensure orders can be placed on the day.”
