Dale Smith is a successful property entrepreneur with over 15 years of experience in residential, commercial, and holiday home property investment, property development, and property management.
Dale is the CEO of The SDDE Smith Group, which he founded in March 2017 with just one holiday home. Four years later he has grown the business to include 12 customer-facing brands with over 300 employees and a projected revenue of over £30 million for 2023.
Dale’s unique approach to property management has been a key factor in his success. Instead of focusing on just one property management area, he continuously creates different customer-facing brands to meet his clients’ varied needs. The brands include Host & Stay, Resicentral, WOODSmith Construction, Styled Interior Design and many more.
