Our Story
Founded in 2001 by Mark Welsh, SMS Group Services was built on the principles of leadership, teamwork, and resilience – values Mark developed during his time in the Royal Navy.
After moving to Australia, Mark recognised the need for a people-focused approach within the access and industrial services industry, prioritising innovation, safety, and professional development.
With this vision, he created SMS Group Services, which has grown into an industry leader, delivering high-quality services across Western Australia, including:
