I've known and worked with Ashley since something like 2003. We met while we were both in the health club industry when he was general manager at a club where I was training and consulting. Ash builds rapport and creates connection as well as anyone I've met. But don't mistake that for simply being a nice guy. He certainly is a good guy and genuinely wants to do good in the world through his work. At the same time he has a remarkably astute business brain. He's able to see untapped potential in an opportunity, assess the wants and needs of all stakeholders and then shape and share a compelling and really well conceived proposition for the future that takes that organisation somewhere fresh, new and good. He can then pick up that vision and build and lead a team to bring it to life. He manages to strike a balance between being challenging to work with and also being very supportive to people. Every interaction with him has an energy, an intensity and a warmth to it. There aren't many like him, which is why he's doing what he does in the world of residential and leisure development. More important than all that, as human beings go, he's one of the best. He has been a loyal, generous, kind and honest friend to me through good times and bad over the last 20 years. I'm privileged to call him my friend.

Having worked with Ashley for over two years, he has a determined focus on how best to transition the earning potential of an asset. He has an exceptional understanding of his industry, and where to focus investment to generate economic growth, create employment, maximise ROI, and how to unlock the true potential of a development opportunity. He builds trust, he drives quality, he delivers expectations, and is a natural leader of high performing teams.
