"We have been working together for years now. The consistency of dealing with the same team is crucial, and we’ve had the same person look after us throughout. It’s always been about Ashdown understanding our business, not superficially, but in greater depth than I’ve ever experienced before.
"I'm only introduced to people whom I’m actually interested in meeting. I never feel people are pushed across to hit a number. It’s a genuine partnership, we work together to find the right person and why we will continue to be successful for years to come."
