Try something like:

SELECT chg.productid, grp.name as pgroup
FROM t_stockchanges chg, t_prod_in_pgr pp, t_productgroups grp
WHERE chg.productid=pp.productid AND pp.productgroupid=grp.id;

I might have got some of your fields wrong, but what I'm trying to do is join
across the linked fields.

change.product_id => linktbl.product_id, linktbl.group_id => groups.group_id

No need for a subselect here.
