An interview with SMO Gold Co-Founders Dan and Charlie Betts

Charlie Betts represents the ninth consecutive generation of the Betts family to run The Betts Group; a business focusing on refining precious metals and manufacturing jewellery and investment products.

Charlie has seen first-hand the recent explosion in consumer engagement with responsible sourcing in the jewellery industry. He also has expert understanding of the challenges faced by jewellers in reliably and cost-effectively acquiring products with detailed provenance.

Charlie’s brother, Dan Betts, is the CEO of Hummingbird Resources PLC, an AIM-listed multi-asset gold company with a producing gold mine in Mali, West Africa.

Dan is actively engaged with the challenges of developing socially and environmentally responsible gold mines and ensuring such projects are beneficial to their host communities.
