Ash has had a variety of jobs, from running pizza shops to organising town competitions, a stint in the army and then into selling new homes. He’s the embodiment of the entrepreneur, always hustling, always creating, putting his infectious enthusiasm into all he does.
“… So I put a sign out the front that’s said ‘Toilet this way’ so I’d have the people using the park, come into the display home and I’d give them stuff to give to their friends and family to move into the area, and then they’d come and chat with me!” ~ Cullum Ashton.
