Anthony Smith
Head Of IT
I bring over 20 years of experience in business, sales and customer relationships. Having owned and operated businesses across the tyre and construction sectors, I understand the day-to-day challenges business owners face. Over the past six years, I’ve also built websites and apps and helped businesses use AI to improve the way they work. I enjoy getting to the heart of a problem and finding practical solutions, whether that means improving a process, creating a management system or making better use of technology. At BSMEG Wealth, I bring that mix of commercial and technical experience to conversations with clients. If a business needs help thinking through its systems or managing a technology project, I can offer a practical perspective grounded in experience of running a business myself. Outside of work, family is hugely important to me. I’m also a football and golf fan, and I bring a down-to-earth approach and a sense of humour to what I do.
