We didn't want it to happen like this says Stax MD
David Hibbert, joint MD, Stax Trade Centres, said  “When Spread went out of business some years ago we saw it as an opportunity to get a foothold in this market and we have grown steadily ever since. Obviously we were seen by the industry as the third of three players behind Solus and Decco, but at some point we thought we could move up – but not in this fashion.
“It is very sad for the market and especially for the staff and their families. No-one wanted this to happen and everyone you talk to speaks well of Solus “However, we will no doubt benefit further. We started gearing up in March and are now working on a 24-hour basis in the depots. We’re making our units work harder and investing in picking technology to make us more efficient.
"Pre-season is out of the way so it’s mainly repeat business now and we don’t anticipate any difficulties. Trading is currently very brisk.”
