Following a successful first year exhibiting at Spring Fair in 2017, we’re excited to announce that we will be there again in February and we’ve got a big announcement to make too!
We can’t give too much away right now, but if you’re visiting the show we’ll be sharing our latest news on the Monday. Be sure to stop by to be one of the first in the know! We’ll also be unveiling our brand-new striking stand design, which has been built to reflect the fact that this year we’re all about giving our customers “MORE”. More of what you want, more of what you need and more of some things you didn’t even know you could have!
Our representatives will be on hand to educate retailers on the many benefits of partnering with Stax. We’ll also be discussing our 2018 rewards offering, including the rebate scheme relaunched for 2018 and our brand new Stax Perx, which will give Stax customers access to discounts on everyday essentials outside of Stax, including gym memberships, food and drink, insurances and much more.
Stax Joint Managing Director, David Hibbert commented: “It was an easy decision to exhibit again after a great first year. Last year was the first year that included a DIY and home improvement sector, and we think it will be even bigger and better this year. I think we’ll make a few waves with our announcement and our stand is one that certainly won’t be missed this year! I look forward to speaking with potential and existing customers throughout the event.”
It’s been a fantastic 12 months so far for us at Stax which we feel Spring Fair will be the pinnacle of. For starters, exciting distribution deals with Barrus, Paroh and Husqvarna that will see us stock brands including Flymo, McCulloch, Wilkinson Sword, WOLF Garten, Town & Country and The Kent Collection. Our acquisition of PDS Logistics gives us more control over our distribution network and allows us to better service our customers.
After a triumphant victory in the Britain’s Best Wholesaler category of The Housewares Innovation Awards 2016 and after being nominated as a finalist in the same category for The Housewares Innovation Awards 2017, we’re delighted to have been shortlisted once again as a finalist in the Best Wholesaler category of The Housewares Innovation Awards 2018. The winner will be announced during an evening awards ceremony on Monday February 5 at The National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham. We also won the title of ‘Best DIY/Builder Merchant Buying Team’ with the Stax buying team being honoured at Glee 2017. This was a hotly contested category with competition from the likes of B&Q, Homebase and Wickes.
It doesn’t stop there! We are looking forward to an even bigger 2018 with a number of exciting announcements already in the making.
If you’re attending the show, you can visit Stax’s stand which will be located in the DIY & Home Improvement Hall (10-12) on Stand 10C30.
