Alex was a brilliant resource to have in the early days of trading our brand, and importing ever increasing volumes from overseas. He was always available for open and honest advice and definitely saved our business money. I would highly recommend him
Jeff Fletcher FCCA
Alex recently supported one of our clients with a bespoke currency solution which eliminated their FX risk. We received great feedback from our client on the service provided by Smart. I look forward to introducing Alex and the Smart team to more of our clients in the future so that they benefit from bespoke currency exchange solutions.
