The Loss of Ashley’s Grandfather in 2013 saw the start of his career in what he now describes as “A way of life.” During his time within this conglomerate business he was promoted to Funeral Director, however began to realise that there was a much better way of looking after families and their loved ones. Ashley eventually decided to leave the conglomerate world behind, in pursuit of a career in the independent sector.
