Our Story

It all began on January 1st, 2024, when our founder, Darcy James Smead, helped his grandma with her computer. What started as one client has grown into a community-focused IT business serving dozens of households and small businesses in the area. By 2025, SmeadIT was recognised as a finalist in the Local Business Awards.
