About Us

SLB Distribution was formed by Simon Brown in 2002 to provide leaflet and poster distribution for local theatres and attractions in the Leicester area. A large network of sites already existed as Simon was Leicester’s DeMontfort Hall & Northampton’s Royal and Derngate Theatre print distributor.


During 2004 our “Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland Theatre Arts Box” was launched to provide compact, neat looking display racks in which to display our customer’s leaflets.

SLB move into new premises in the Leicester Creative Business Depot based in the heart of the new cultural quarter of Leicester.

This has helped to raise their profile in the local area.

New delivery routes and display locations are developed and new customers such as Stanwick Lakes and Northamptonshire County Council Country Parks service join our new display network of over 230 sites and growing.
