The business employs over 150 staff and has 19 partners, many of whom have been praised within the report for their experience and ability. These include, David Barnes who has ‘over 30 years experience in the local corporate market’ and ‘the highly rated’ Geoff Hazlewood. ‘Conscientious’ Alan Brown and his colleague Alison Budge who work within the private client department have been mentioned, as well as Andrew Roe and James Griffith from the real estate department whose ‘growing reputation has helped Ashton Graham to hold firm in a challenging market’.

However we are committed to making sure that our top priority is, as always, to our existing clients and they can rely on us to give them the best possible advice and service.” Mark Merriam concluded.
