Stairbox Precision Joinery & Design Expo
The Stairbox: Precision Joinery & Design Expo is coming to the heart of the Potteries to showcase the cutting edge of staircase manufacturing and interior architectural design. As one of the UK’s leading names in bespoke staircase solutions, Stairbox is opening its doors—and its technical secrets—to professionals and homeowners alike in Stoke-on-Trent.
This event serves as a comprehensive deep dive into the fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology. Attendees will gain first-hand insight into how Stairbox utilizes advanced CNC machining and 3D modeling software to transform raw timber into complex, elegant structures. The exhibition floor will feature full-scale installations ranging from minimalist oak glass-balustrade flights to space-saving spiral solutions and traditional spindle designs.
Beyond the physical displays, the event features a series of technical seminars. Our lead designers will host "The Anatomy of a Staircase" sessions, focusing on building regulations (Part K), structural integrity, and the aesthetics of mixed-material joinery. Whether you are dealing with a tight renovation footprint or a grand new-build entrance, our experts will be available for one-on-one design consultations.
We are also proud to highlight our commitment to sustainability. A dedicated section of the expo will focus on the ethical sourcing of timbers and the reduction of waste through precision engineering. For trade professionals, there will be exclusive networking slots to discuss partnership opportunities, trade discounts, and the integration of Stairbox’s online design tool into their own client workflows.
Join us in Stoke-on-Trent for a day dedicated to the "spine of the home." Discover how innovation is making bespoke joinery more accessible, faster to install, and more durable than ever before.

Introduction to Business Finance Workshop
The Humber Business Growth Hub (operating as the HEY Business, Growth & Skills Hub) is proud to present a practical, hands-on workshop specifically designed to demystify the world of corporate and small business finance. Navigating the financial landscape can be one of the most daunting aspects of entrepreneurship, yet it is the primary driver of long-term sustainability. This session is meticulously crafted to empower business owners, local start-ups, and managers with the essential knowledge needed to take full control of their financial destiny.
Participants will engage in a guided curriculum that simplifies complex financial concepts into actionable business strategies. The workshop covers critical pillars of financial management, starting with the fundamentals of pricing. You will learn how to accurately price your products or services to ensure profitability while remaining competitive in the current UK market. Moving beyond simple arithmetic, the session dives deep into the "lifeline" of any organization: cash flow management. Our expert facilitators will provide tools and templates to help you forecast income, manage outgoing expenses, and avoid common liquidity traps that often hinder growing enterprises.
Furthermore, the event addresses the legal and administrative side of business finance. Understanding your financial responsibilities—including tax obligations, financial reporting, and compliance with UK regulations—is vital for any director or sole trader. By the end of this session, you will not only have a clearer picture of your current financial health but also the confidence to make informed investment decisions and communicate more effectively with lenders or accountants. This workshop is more than just a lecture; it is an interactive environment where you can ask specific questions and network with peers facing similar challenges in the Hull and East Yorkshire region.
