Pros
Ashdown Group make sure that I am able to do my job effectively and give me every opportunity to succeed. I always feel listened to and am able to be open and honest with my Line Manager . There is also no barriers in communicating with my Directors and opinions are taken on board and acted upon as we are all valued members of the team. The company has restructured and adapted dramatically to accommodate the awful year that brought us Covid but with that there has been some incredible changes, that were infact well underway before this period. They have led us to an environment that is inclusive, collaborative and rewarding. Most notably we are now fully flexible, I can work where I like and when best suits me and my client base. I feel completely trusted to do my job and fulfilled being able to balance my work and home life, it's really great! I am given as much support as I need to tackle challenges and grow within my role and am offered opportunities for promotion and salary increases to reflect the efforts I put into the company which is always recognised by management. Aside from my role, I am part of a team that respects and wants the best for eachother. We share in eachothers successes and can rely on one another - which can be very rare in a sales environment. Lastly, our management and directors (John Lynes and Denis O'Sullivan) are extremely caring and will always look out for their staff, with us at the forefront of their decision making.
