Smiley Monroe now
closer than ever to
GB customers with
new UK facility
Global conveyor belt supplier Smiley Monroe is
delighted to announce the opening of a new
conveyor belt depot in the Midlands, UK.
With a huge variety of flat and chevron options available, the
Northern Ireland headquartered manufacturer holds the
largest stock of conveyor belting across the UK and Ireland.
The new base in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, will offer full conveyor
belt rolls and cut lengths of belt with expedited delivery
options available, including next day delivery and same day
collection.
The commitment to expand Smiley Monroe’s footprint into GB
is a direct response to customer feedback, particularly from
their loyal customer base of service companies.
Chris Monroe - Smiley Monroe CEO commented: "GB has
always been an important market for Smiley Monroe and
while our customers wanted to do more business with us,
they needed faster lead times that what we could provide
from Northern Ireland. As demand grew, we acted quickly, and
we’re delighted that our new Midlands Hub allows us to offer
the swift delivery and service levels our customers deserve.’
Founded in Northern Ireland in 1979, Smiley Monroe has
grown from a local service company into a global conveyor
belt partner, with manufacturing and distribution facilities in
the UK, USA and India, supplying some of the biggest
equipment manufacturers across the construction, recycling
and environmental sectors.
The company’s GB expansion marks not only the company’s
ambitious growth plans but also their commitment to staying
close to their customers, an approach which has always been
a key driver in Smiley Monroe’s success.
Jeremy Cross, Business Development Manager at Smiley
Monroe, commented: ‘Our roots are in site service and early in
Smiley Monroe’s journey we had many teams servicing
conveyor belts on sites in Ireland and GB. This background
knowledge and understanding of the challenges means we’re
trusted by vulcanising companies and have a loyal and valued
customer base. Moving stock closer to customers was the
natural progression to ensure we could provide the speedy
turnaround and service they required.’
