Steve Smith

Business Doctor for Lancashire, covering St Helens, Wigan, Widnes & Leigh.

I joined the Business Doctors network with 30 years of experience in Senior Management and Director roles for blue-chip companies such as Procter and Gamble, Kellogg’s, and AG Barr.

I was born and raised in St Helens, Merseyside, and after graduating from the University of Sheffield with a degree in Business Studies, I began my career at Procter and Gamble. Working on leading brands in various sales, marketing, and commercial roles, I built my experience in business planning and strategy, team leadership, P & L management, consumer brand development, and trade marketing.

During the past years, I have gained a great sense of satisfaction not only through achieving sales, revenue, and profit growth, but also through training, coaching, and motivating others. It was this, combined with the desire to take on a new challenge, that brought me to Business Doctors.

Now I can give something back to my local community by sharing my knowledge and experience with business owners, helping them overcome the challenges and issues they face.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading history books, particularly about WW1 and WW2. I’m also a keen runner and enjoy watching football, rugby and cricket.
