About Us
Introduction
Block Manager Advisory Ltd ("BMA") is a business broker and management consultancy practice, specialising in the residential property (block) management sector. BMA was formed in early 2020 by Alastair Smith and Rob Robertson, both experienced professionals in the sector with more than 50 years combined business management experience.
BMA was initially created to expand Alastair Smith's long standing consultancy practice as an advisor to block management business owners in England and Wales and strata management business owners in Australia. This change has enabled a larger number of businesses to benefit from his knowledge, experience and his expert advocacy at the time of business sale.
