About Smylies

Smylies is a privately owned, family run business that has been supplying businesses with the complete exportation service for over 15 years. Although Smylies Ltd. was officially established in 2003, the Smylies name has been associated with the food business for centuries.

When Ireland was hit by a catastrophic potato famine in 1843 James Smylie emigrated to Manchester to seek fresh opportunities, and subsequently set up a business that predominantly sold bacon to Mancunian citizens. Since then, the Smylies involvement within the food industry lasted through generations and became Smylies Ltd. in 2003, after they supplied a supermarket in Abu Dhabi with an order of British groceries.

Following their inception in 2013 Smylies have expanded massively and now source and supply in excess of 20’000 different products for distributors, retailers, food service companies and supermarkets in over 40 countries. Their growth has allowed them to move to a state-of-the-art purpose built 30’000 square feet headquarters, where they can effectively manage and ship frozen, chilled and ambient popular British products.
