Not only did I feel like we were in capable hands, but it really felt like we were working as a team together, especially in my engagement with Scott Preece who brought both humanity and tenacity to the experience. Emma Griffin-Davies pulled out the stops finalising and helping manage the signing process on a tight deadline, and Charles Davies was professional and deft in his work helping to prepare the documents with Scott."”

“Ashfords are one of the few firms that do offer a real ‘full service’ approach, we have used them for a wide range of business and commercial advice. The construction partners we work with have introduced us to their colleagues who specialise in planning, regulatory, employment etc and we have seen a strong client focussed customer ethos across the spectrum, with sound commercial and practical knowledge underpinning all of the work undertaken. We have yet to find a weak link in the Ashfords chain and look forward to working with them for many years to come”
