Profiles of Our AHCEO's

Alan Smith
Authorised High Court Enforcement Officer
Chief Operations Officer

Alan joined Shergroup in July 2003 after working with the team in the Sheriffs Office to promote the Sheriffs Lodgment Centre and the National Sheriffs Campaign. Described as one of the best HCEO's in England and Wales, Alan has a natural flair for the punch line of “Show Me The Money”, excelling in the sale and removal of goods for auction.

Since the inception of Sherforce, Alan has assisted Claire and the team in the creation of SHERPA, the Sherforce case management system and works closely with colleagues, to make the information displayed in SHERPA as simple as possible for clients.

Over the last year he has managed the creation of a
field team, and Officer Support Unit. He has overseen the removal of goods as diverse as long boats, Formula 1 vehicles, and World War 2 Planes.

Alan is also responsible for the field management of High Court Writs of Possession through the associated Shergroup brand of “Sherbond”. If you are finding your current service provider is turning to jelly at the thought of removing goods, then speak to Alan and he will tell you how it can be done! Contact Alan by email at
