Testimonials

Having known Ash as a friend and professionally over many years, often at the same companies, I am happy to recommend him. 


I can confirm the many considerable successes he has delivered in business development, particularly in competitive or adverse conditions. He is assisted by extraordinary energy and commitment, allied with a proactive and always ingenious approach to problem solving. 


The results speak for themselves. His integrity is without question.

Having worked with Ashley Haithwaite when he was working in a brand agency, I witnessed first-hand his ability to influence, engage and move an idea forward to a measurable, high-performing and sustainable engagement programme. 


Ashley is an exceptional relationship builder, able to blend strong commercial sales reasoning with an ability to bring opportunities and ideas to life. This creates positive and trusted collaboration and goodwill for all stakeholders. 


Ashley's greatest strength is his ability to turn relationships into action. He creates confidence around an opportunity, establishes a clear commercial proposition based on his key non-negotiable - ROI - and creates momentum. 


Ashley will engage senior business leaders, investors, public-sector organisations and community stakeholders and, more importantly, bring them together behind a common agreed strategic objective. His infectious enthusiasm and commercial expertise are an asset to all those who work with Ashley.

Ashley is really a one off! 


Never, in my 35 years in business have I come across someone so full of confidence in not only himself but the product he is selling. His work rate ethic is fantastic and I think he is the only person who really could buy ice off eskimos at £5 per kilo and sell it back to them at £10 per kilo and make them believe they'd got a good deal... that is how good he is. 


1st Class Logistics UK Ltd would not be where we are today without Ashley's input.

I have worked with Ashley for more than 25 years and, during that time, have seen first-hand his exceptional ability to develop relationships, identify commercial opportunities and turn those opportunities into successful, long-term business. 


Ash has an unusual ability to build rapport and confidence extremely quickly. Importantly, this is backed by genuine commercial understanding. He listens, understands what a business is trying to achieve and has the initiative and experience to adapt an idea, identify an opportunity or suggest a practical solution during the conversation. 


His greatest strength is bringing people and opportunities together, earning their confidence and then finding practical ways to turn those relationships into activity.
