From day one, Smarter Home 4U has been a family run business. Built on hard work, outstanding craftsmanship, and a shared passion for creating beautiful homes.
Our team has grown, but our values haven’t changed, so we’re bringing back our ‘meet the team’ series to introduce (or reintroduce) the people who make it all happen starting with…
Super Sammi Simpson 
Meet Sammi, our Head of Scheduling and also captain of Manchester Swinton Lionesses. We first crossed paths with Sammi when we became her sponsors and its safe to say she made an impression on everyone. From inspiring Lyla and Esme on the rugby pitch to being offered a job at HQ, organising the team each week and liaising with customers to ensure each job runs smoothly. Here are a few interesting facts about Sammi –
- She has played Rugby League at international level for both England and Scotland
- She (in her own words) is a crazy cat lady and has two of her own, Smudge and Simba
- She has also represented England in three other sports, Thai Boxing, Cheerleading and Kabaddi!
