Gareth Smyth, CEO.
Hilton Smythe, Business & Finance Brokers.
Born in 2011, Hilton Smythe has since helped 1,000’s of people Buy, Sell and Finance their Businesses, throughout the UK
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.

Reputation is driven by you
It has been a pleasure working with Rukhsana, her customer service was impeccable and she made the process quite seamless. She understood what I needed and was happy to give solid advice so that I was able to make an informed decision. I would highly recommend her.
In February 2025, the sale was successfully completed to the satisfaction of all parties. I cannot recommend HS enough, their expertise, efficiency, and exceptional client service set them apart. A special mention must go to Katie, her dedication, professionalism, and unwavering commitment made all the difference.
A great service was provided by Katie. She was very tenacious and on the case to ensure all partners, including myself, kept on going to completion!
Hilton Smythe provided a very professional service. Extremely patient with all the questions we had and extremely helpful.
Great team who were easy to work with, they demonstrated good open lines of communication and worked hard to ensure a smooth transition was achieved.
