Tony Smith

Tony has been a member of Looe Town Council since September 2020 and was elected as  Mayor in May 2023. Before moving to Looe in 2014, Tony ran his own management consultancy business in Cardiff for some 20 years, working with companies and economic development agencies across the UK. Prior to setting up this business he had a career in sales and marketing, working for companies such as 3M, Bacofoil, Johnson & Johnson, Express Foods, Brain’s Brewery and Price Waterhouse where he held a variety of roles.  As a member of Looe Town Council, Tony is particularly interested in the economic development of the town and the creation of jobs and business opportunities for its community. He worked extensively in this field whilst in Wales and is keen to bring this experience to Looe. Away from this work, Tony is a keen student of military history and, as a battlefield guide, regularly takes young people, adult, and family groups to the battlefields of France, Belgium, and Holland. He also researches military ancestors for those keen to find out their history. He is currently the membership secretary of the Guild of Battlefield Guides.
