Stax announced at Spring Fair that they have been granted Preferred Wholesaler status for the full range of products from leading decorating tool manufacturer LG Harris.

The strategic pertnership, which has been agreed in conjunction with bira Direct, holds a number of benefits for customers who previously placed orders direct to Harris.

The good news is that prices remain consistent with what they're used to, and with Stax discounts, may even end up cheaper. What's more, it will reduce the need to overstock, as Stax will continue to sell Harris products in single quantities.

Chris Scott, sales director at LG Harris, said: "We are very pleased to be working in partnership with Stax to deliver the extensive Harris product range. The new arrangement will help increase ordering ease for our valued customers and increase the distribution of our products."

Eddie Brady, chairman of Stax Trade Centres, said: "We are delighted to enter a strategic partnership with Harris, a name synonymous with quality decorating tools. Harris retailers can look forward to Stax's award-winning operation and can take advantage of a wide variety of additional products and unique services to help grow their business."
