The company was started in the 1920s by Robert Smith, who later passed the business on to his son, Glyn, when he returned from the war. Glyn then married Glynneth, and together they ran the business, eventually passing it on to their children, Fiona and Chris, in the 1970s. Later, Fiona and her husband Gareth took over until 2020, when they retired—though Gareth still helps out during the winter!

The business was subsequently taken over by Colin Roberts and Dave Jones, who were both committed to maintaining the company’s respected name and reputation for quality and service.

Colin and Dave both come from an LPG gas background and were former members of the Calor Gas management team. They had managed the Calor site at Bodelwyddan before being made redundant—“We always knew closing that site was a mistake!” The Calor drivers who worked with us also joined R Smith, creating a highly experienced team.

With over 70 years’ experience with Calor Gas, we believe our knowledge and service are second to none, and we look forward to hearing from you. Advice is free!
