In what was a great night regardless, Stax narrowly missed out on being named ‘Britain’
Published 12th February 2018

In what was a great night regardless, Stax narrowly missed out on being named ‘Britain’s Best Wholesaler’ at the Housewares Innovation Awards. However, although we didn’t win we did come highly commended in what was a highly competitive category, as it always is.
We didn’t leave the night empty handed though as we were recognised for our charitable efforts with an award sponsored by Rainy Day Trust. Rainy Day Trust is the UK’s only home improvement and enhancement charity supporting its workforce and their families. The award was collected on the night by Managing Director, David Hibbert on behalf of the whole Stax team.

The awards took place once again at Birmingham’s National Motorcycle Museum and were hosted by actor, presenter, writer and producer, Ryan Philpott.
