Geoff Smith is a man with an incredible story that's full of ups and downs. He started his career in the door security business, which allowed him to mingle with celebrities and gain a taste for the high life. However, his life took a dramatic turn when he was approached by strangers who asked him to go overseas and bring back a box of diamonds. This experience introduced him to the world of diamond importing, which he quickly realized was a lucrative business.

At first, Geoff conducted his business through legal means, but he soon needed more money to grow his operation. He sought investment from outside sources but unfortunately, a dodgy import of smashed glass led him to lose all of the invested funds. His investors were not happy and threatened his life, causing him to go into hiding.

Despite the challenges he faced, Geoff was determined to make things right. He worked hard to pay back his investors and HMRC, and he has now built a business that provides advice on importing and exporting. He uses his experiences to help others avoid the mistakes he made, and his knowledge is invaluable to those looking to enter the world of international trade.
