Smarter Capital

As Chairman of Smarter Capital, my role is to drive results and find solutions that enhance the Groups performance. I am responsible for overseeing the acquisition of digital marketing agencies for the Group, as well as supporting acquisitions in the e-commerce and Support Services verticals. 

Since June 2022, we have successfully integrated eight companies into the Group, expanding our reach and capabilities locally, nationally, and now globally.

My primary focus is on growing the Digital Agency vertical and supporting the growth of our e-commerce vertical, each with a target of achieving £3 million in EBIT. This growth objective demonstrates our dedication to maximising the profitability and success of these sectors within the Group.

In addition to my responsibilities within the Group, I also prioritise assisting founders in maximising their shareholder value. This indicates our commitment to fostering strong relationships with the entrepreneurs behind the acquired companies, providing guidance and support to help them achieve their goals.

Furthermore, I am leading the development of our "Smarter Fund," which aims to generate above-average returns for everyday capital. This fund offers a secured solution that provides attractive financial opportunities while mitigating risk.

As Chairman of Smarter Capital, I am a results-oriented leader, driving growth in the digital marketing and eCommerce sectors, maximising shareholder value, and providing secure investment opportunities through the Smarter Fund.

I am proud to be one of the founders at Smarter Capital and working with an amazing and growing group of people. We excel at maximising shareholder value through strategic acquisitions and driving growth in the dynamic realms of digital marketing, e-commerce, and Support Services verticals.

Specialising in collaborating with owner-managed businesses within the digital marketing, website design and development, e-commerce, IT and support services sectors, we focus on companies with annual revenues ranging from £500,000 to £10,000,000. With our expertise and resources, we are committed to propelling these businesses to new heights.

To better understand who we are and what we do, I invite you to explore our website at www.smarter-capital.co.uk

Since June 2022, we have successfully acquired several businesses, including Smarter Media Ltd, ActivelyAds, Outsearch, Dexterous Designs, and Refresh Support. These strategic acquisitions have not only strengthened our portfolio but have also expanded our market reach, enabling us to deliver comprehensive solutions to our many hundreds of clients throughout the Group.

Furthermore, our entrepreneurial spirit extends beyond our core strategy. We embrace opportunities that may not align perfectly with our existing ventures. As a testament to this, we recently completed a corporate carve-out and introduced Smarter Export, demonstrating our ability to adapt and capitalise on diverse prospects.

If you have an opportunity that you believe warrants discussion, I encourage you to reach out to me directly. We welcome conversations about majority, and full acquisition opportunities, as we are constantly seeking new avenues for growth.

Join us on our journey of cultivating success and making a lasting impact in the business landscape. Together, we can unlock untapped potential and achieve remarkable results.
