About Us

Born in 2011, Hilton Smythe has since helped 1,000’s of people buy and sell businesses, throughout the UK

 

Where it all began…

Gareth Smyth and Craig Graham founded Hilton Smythe in 2011. Best friends, they decided the world of business broking needed a bit of a shake up.

Gareth started selling businesses in 2006 and quickly realised that brokers didn’t care about their clients or their businesses. It was all about charging clients upfront fees and as a bonus, selling the odd one or two businesses.

Gareth and Craig wanted to challenge the norm and focus on actually selling businesses and good old fashioned customer service.

Karen Currie, Senior Sales Progressor.

I would definitely use Hilton Smythe again.

Brilliant, professional, two words that sum up Karen Currie, she was very helpful and made sure my experience of the purchase of the business was relaxed and helped get the process completed quickly.
