The eagerly anticipated 2016 Stax Garden Collection launched on the 2^nd of December, with the non-food wholesaler perfectly positioned to serve Independent Garden Centres in England & Scotland throughout 2016 following the opening of the purpose built warehouse and distribution centre in Glasgow.

Set out in the usual, user-friendly format with comprehensive product information and separate price list the 256 page full colour 2016 garden catalogue has been specifically designed for ease of use by garden centre retailers. With a garden range of well over 3,000 lines from market leading brands such as Doff, Fiskars and being an official distributor of Bayer products as well as being one of the only three official distributors of Scotts products gives a clear indication of Stax showing their commitment to the sector.

Purchasing Director, Simon Wright comments, “Our commitment to providing the best products and service for our retailers remains at the centre of our business. We have acted on feedback from our team of experienced reps who visit our garden centre customers on a daily basis, and have worked hard to source the best selling products at the right price, which ensures our customers can pass on great value."

The National Sales team of 15 representatives gives Stax the ability to manage many more accounts resulting in an excellent level of customer service offered to garden centre businesses.  The team of gardening sales representatives are currently distributing the new catalogue to customers and it will also be available on the Stax stand at the Totally shows mid February.

The full range of gardening products are available not only on a delivered basis but also cash and carry from each of the five main Stax branches with a reduced range available from the Edinburgh depot.

Continued investment is also evident across the company’s own brands with the Ambassador range of premium quality garden tools including the now expanded Ash Handle Collection as well as the Ambassador Growing Media range.

Also featured in the 2013 Garden Collection is popular garden own brand SupaGarden, a range known for its comprehensive product choice and fantastic margins – and the growing Glenwear Workwear collection, which retailers can now have suitably personalised with custom branding.

Joint Managing Director David Hibbert commented, “We are totally committed to supporting UK Garden Centres, and are backing up our words by investing in our sales team, as well as in our product ranges.  We will once again be an official distributor of Pagoda Garden Furniture products in 2016 so and believe that the next 12 months will see strong growth in the Gardening sector, which means we’ll be perfectly placed to help Garden Centres capitalise on growth opportunities.”
