Morelli & Co. was established in 1957 by Challoner ‘Slim’ Moring, who trained as a panel beater with Rolls Royce and then in 1953, set up his own crash repair business in Southgate. In those days, paint and consumable supply was very erratic and you waited days to receive your goods. Slim found it very frustrating and thought, 'I can do better than this'. Slim secured sole trading rights for Valentine Paints in North London and Essex. Morelli & Co. opened on 27 May, 1957. The motto then was; “your stock is at the end of your telephone.” Today, the Morelli Group is still owned by the Moring family and prides itself on providing the highest standards of distributor services. Operating from 14 branches offering national coverage. We are stockists of Glasurit, R-M, Spies Hecker, Cromax, Standox, PPG, and De Beer paint brands and are 3M’s largest independent distributor in the automotive market.Smart Express
