Published 26th September 2011

The Big Brands Trade Show will start on Tuesday, 27th September. Top branded suppliers are set to exhibit their biggest and best selling products at this unique two-day event, which will be taking place throughout the whole of the Manchester warehouse. Leading brand suppliers will be showcasing DIY, tools, gardening, housewares, hardware and electrical products and more!
The Show, which is expected to attract visitors from across the country, aims to provide customers with a chance to talk to leading suppliers, discuss up and coming products for 2012, and place orders for exclusive 'show-only' offers.
Stax customers from all four branches are welcome, and independent retailers who grasp the opportunity will be given the chance not only to meet and chat with manufacturers in an environment they are comfortable with, they can also take advantage of special show offers, free give-aways, take part in competitions and have the chance to win a fully loaded van worth £18,000, kindly donated by Unibond.
Stax Chairman Eddie Brady commented:
"Normally independent retailers are asked to travel to a hotel or an exhibition centre to meet the big brands, but this time we have asked the big brands to come to us."
