Bio
John Kenny
I worked with Ashley for many years at Liberty Living and found him to be a skilled, hard working and competent manager that made a consistent contribution to the success of the business. Having learned the market from the ground floor up he mastered operations, sales and marketing and was right at the heart of our successful Cardiff operations. Ashley constantly looked for ways to improve his operations and himself working and studying side by side for many years. He brings skill, ability, hard work and values to any operation and I would work with him again in a heart beat.
