Stax in the running for the ‘Britain’s Best Wholesaler’ title

After a triumphant victory at the 2016 Housewares Innovation Awards and being nominated as finalist

Published 8th December 2017

After a triumphant victory at the 2016 Housewares Innovation Awards and being nominated as finalists in 2017, we’re delighted to have been shortlisted once again as finalists in the 'Britain's Best Wholesaler' category. 

The awards, which are hosted by Housewares Magazine and www.housewareslive.net are all about celebrating the finest wholesalers and retailers awarding excellence within the industry. The ceremony itself will this year be held at The National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham on the 5th of February in what promises to be yet again a tough category. Many of the Stax team will be in the area already exhibiting at Spring Fair nearby at the NEC.

Stax Purchasing Director, Simon Wright commented: “Winning ‘Britain’s Best Wholesaler’ in 2016 was a real highlight in a fantastic year for Stax, so we’re excited to be nominated again and look forward to the night itself. We wanted the opportunity to regain our title after being finalists in 2017 and we’ve got our wish, so fingers crossed for the big night. We’ve come a long way in 2017, especially in terms of innovation, with a number of new distribution deals and taking control of our own distribution network so we feel really positive.”
