The story behind the success of Thomas Smith Group as we know it today, started as the brain child of William Jennison Smith well over 170 years ago. A family business with an exceptional grasp on market changes and industry realities, the company has evolved and adapted as times required, staying focused on its brand values of integrity, reliability and exceptional customer service; not a simple feat to achieve with the demands of the choppy and uncertain waters of the modern business world.

Originally founded in the Shipping industry, Thomas Smith Group also moved into the provision of Insurance services once it identified the potential of a dedicated area of business in this field. Successfully becoming a strategic local player in both markets, the Group has kept true to its main vision over the years, to provide impeccable service to clients, working with them to build relationships based on trust and delivering success. A portfolio of key local and international clients in both industries can attest to this trust factor, possibly one of the crucial features to any business relationship.

The shipping division of the company, one of the largest in the Maltese Islands, specialises in all areas of Cargo movement including the management of countless international Out of Gauge and Logistics projects, Air Freight Movements, Full Load Container Services and Transhipments across international waters and land. The staff within the shipping division offer key insight and recommendations to clients on the best method and route for cargo to be transported. Such guidance has proved invaluable when clients need to be advised of the most practical methods to get each job done, both on time and more crucially, to budget. This insight is gained from the knowledge passed down internally within the Group, the new systems and processes which have been integrated into the company’s work flow and through the wide spectrum of services that Thomas Smith has been offering for well over a century.
