As a business built from hard work and dedication, Stax is proud of its grafter roots. Our no-nonsense approach, commitment to quality, and customer-first values align perfectly with the ethos of the Grafters Super Groups. These networking and referral groups bring together key players from the built environment—many of whom are current or potential Stax customers and suppliers.

About Grafters Super Groups

Grafters Super Groups are fortnightly networking groups for specialist suppliers and contractors in the construction and property industries. With a mix of in-person and online meetings, these structured events help generate qualified business referrals and build long-term relationships across the sector.

Every member or guest is actively working on live projects—making it a high-value environment for those looking to connect and grow their network within the built environment.
