Andy
Mill Manager
Having worked for Ashwells for 6 years, my favourite part has always been the warm reception from customers seeing the finished product for the first time and the photos of our products in use.
Sam
Yard Operative
After starting temporarily outside of term time, Ashwells has always welcomed me back in and out of my studies. With a friendly close-knit team, Ashwells has allowed me to be flexible with my work while also teaching me new skills and put to use my current ones to become a valued member of the team.
Ben
Yard Operative
I have worked for Ashwells for a number of years, and I have vastly enjoyed my time so far. A highlight for me was preparing the timber for the back to nature garden at Chelsea for the then, Dutchess of Cambridge.
