What FADEX TRADING LTD does

FADEX TRADING LTD is a privately held UK import/export specialist headquartered in Huddersfield (Unit 4, 58 Market Street, Paddock, HD1 4SH), operating as a broadline B2B distributor. The company serves both private sector companies and public sector organizations, sourcing and reselling bulk quantities of pre-owned and refurbished refuse vehicles (garbage trucks, skip loaders, tipper trucks, street sweepers, tankers, tractor units), consumer electronics (Apple iPhones, iPads and AirPods; Samsung smartphones and microwaves; PlayStation DualShock 4 controllers; DJI drones), computer hardware components (hard drives, graphic cards, SSDs, USBs, Microsoft Office), PPE and COVID-19 screening kits (goggles certified to ANSI Z87.1-2003 and respirators to GB2626-2006), bulk beverages (Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Red Bull product families), and scrap metals (97% pure copper, mixed metal). Inventory is held in substantial unit volumes — for example 9,000 AirPods, 8,750 Samsung microwaves, 9,000 PS4 controllers, and 6,000 iPads — suggesting the business is built around large-bulk order fulfillment rather than retail sales.

The company's go-to-market is sales-led and direct: customers browse a website catalog of available stock (updated daily) and transact by phone or email quote. Pricing is not publicly listed. Beyond distribution, FADEX also offers a small web development service (UI/UX design, development, and testing) as a secondary line. The technology underpinning the business is a responsive custom-built web storefront rather than a proprietary platform, with no disclosed integrations, APIs, AI/ML systems, or intellectual property. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, investors, ownership details, named customers, or financial performance figures.
