I have worked with SMI as our main supplier for the last 4 years now. I
cannot speak too highly about the staff I speak to on a regular basis, they are always very helpful and polite, giving
the impression that nothing is too much trouble. Orders are processed swiftly and even when new contracts are honoured to us they always do their best to ensure everything is delivered on time without
any problems.
We believe along with the prices being extremely competitive, the quality is also
impressive and even after numerous washes the colour stays the same and the

SMI won Yorwaste’s tender for all workwear and PPE for their 500 staff. One of the reasons Yorwaste chose to partner with SMI, is the fact that SMI have developed a number of Rokwear products for the waste industry which means that Yorwaste have access to some of the most innovative new products on the market at a much lower cost than is typically available from other providers.
Yorwaste is a waste collection company owned by North Yorkshire County Council and City of York Council.

SMI has provided Yorwaste with workwear and PPE for the past 4 years
and they have provided a first class service. The quality of the clothing that they provide under the Rokwear band has been high quality and good value gaining praise from the more difficult members of the workforce. Deliveries
are quick and efficient backed by a strong customer service and accounts
team. Yorwaste has been particularly impressed with the web based ordering
process which is simple and intuitive to use. SMI has worked hard to offer
solutions to our changing demands and when an issue does arise they resolve it

excellent order placement, as well as giving us the opportunity to run reports of our
spend and product usage. SMI have always provided clear communication and support
when we are sourcing stock and non-stock items. The quality of the Rokwear brand
clothing and footwear is high, with proof of longevity and durability to operations in the field. SMI's attention to detail and willingness
to help (at any time) has also allowed us to concentrate on our work and provide a quality product to our internal clients. I
