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.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The commitment to expand Smiley Monroe\u2019s footprint into GB is a direct response to customer feedback, particularly from their loyal customer base of service companies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chris Monroe, Smiley Monroe CEO, commented:<em> &#8220;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\u2019re delighted that our new Midlands Hub allows us to offer the swift delivery and service levels our customers deserve.\u2019<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company\u2019s GB expansion marks not only the company\u2019s 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\u2019s success.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jeremy Cross, Business Development Manager at Smiley Monroe, commented:<em> \u2018Our roots are in site service and early in Smiley Monroe\u2019s journey we had many teams servicing conveyor belts on sites in Ireland and GB. This background knowledge and understanding of the challenges means we\u2019re 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.\u2019<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contact the Smiley Monroe team to explore stock availability or request a quick quote.
