Bacon and Company, Estate Agents
Four of our colleagues from different branches attended a leadership development training course run by Tim Mackew at SME Advisor. The attendees said that Tim was friendly, knowledgeable and was very good at communicating his point across which made the course very engaging. All the attendees agreed that they took a lot from the course that they can now put into practice.


Allen Porter, Middleton Insurance Services
We have been working with SME Advisor for many years. We have always found that their team have provided very balanced and real world advice both for us and our clients. They take the worry off of our shoulders. We would happily recommend their services to others.
Alan Prior, AP Architectural
SME Advisor carried out Health and Safety checks on one of my building projects. The property which was a public building was having refurbishment work carried out. His team applied just the right amount of checks, not overbearing but ensured that the work was being carried out in a safe manner. His team was also on hand for advice when needed. I would be happy to recommend SME Advisor.


Nik Demetriades, 4Sight Vision Support
After years of working with faceless HR Providers, we have been delighted with the high quality, person-centred and local service we receive from SME Advisor. Paul and his team understand us and our mission as a charity, and through the input of their professional expertise and skills, they enable us to provide they best possible HR services to our staff so they can continue support our blind and sight impaired beneficiaries.
Allan Sandilands, Taipan Pty Ltd
In 2006 our company was almost broke, had no direction and was lost in the day to day dilemma of trying to survive. From that day to this I have been utilising SME Advisor’s expertise in the many areas of professional development, coaching and mentorship they excel in. Their delivery is fresh, structured, controlled and highly valuable to all involved. SME Advisor has transformed our business into a highly motivated, constantly improving, profitable organization. With a caring and commercial culture. I would highly suggest SME Advisor will ensure you achieve the results you are searching for.


Diana Levantine, The Sussex Snowdrop Trust
Paul Beard and his colleagues have provided the immediate and specialised HR help and support that I have needed over the past 5 years, employing and managing office staff for my charity. I was told by SME ‘Don’t do anything before you contact us’ and this advice has been vital. They are respected experts in their field, and I cannot praise them enough for their professional manner and intense support.
A Packham, Shore Financial Services Ltd
SME Advisor Ltd were extremely professional recently when dealing with a potential employment issue. Their knowledge and experience was invaluable and I would have no hesitation in utilising their services again in the future.
