Ashley
Price established the company in 1988. The business
has never advertised and through recommendation only,
has steadily grown and now operates from premises
in Welwyn village located close to the A1(M) in Hertfordshire.
In recent years the business has diversified from
a mortgage only base to include general insurance products. The staff has also increased
and there are now four mortgage advisers including
Ashley himself plus an in-house independent financial
adviser. Between them the advisers have more than
125 years experience in various areas of financial
services. The company has an excellent reputation
for interpreting economic trends and predicting future
interest rate movements and our clients have benefited
from the best mortgage product available. As a
brokerage we are able to select from the whole mortgage
and a restricted panel on the general insurance market and tailor the products to suit
the clients individual needs.

Ashley
Price - Mortgage Adviser & Partner
Prior
to forming Ashley Price Associates, I spent
24 years with TSB Group. I started working in
a branch in Leicester and finished as Head of
Customer Relations at Head Office in London.
In between I spent time as manager of three
branches and Head of Business Development in
Newcastle Upon Tyne. I was part of a small team
in TSB, which developed and piloted the Banks
Mortgage Service. I hold the qualifications
of The Chartered Institute of Banks, The Chartered
Institute of Marketing and The Institute of
Financial Services, Mortgage Qualification (CeMap).
I am happily married to Polly and have two children Jeremy and Emma. Emma and
her husband Chris and also Jeremy's wife Bittan
all are partners in Ashley Price Associates.
Jeremy did try it but decided his chosen career
as a Sound Designer in the Film Industry suited
him better. My interests include being an Elder
in our local church, giving Holistic Massage,
travelling, and being a Grandpa

Price - Human Resources & Partner
Ashley
and I started Ashley Price Associates in 1988. It was just the 2 of us working from an
office in our home. We have 2 children Jeremy who is married
to Bittan and Emma who is married to Chris.
Between them they are keeping us well supplied
with grandchildren, Emma and Chris have 2 girls
and Jeremy and Bittan also have 2 daughters. My roll in the office is HR. I
work mostly from the office at home as we have
a computer link to the main office, which enables
me to job share with Emma whilst the children
are so small. My interests are our grandchildren,
I am an Elder in our local church, gardening,
travelling and interior designing.

Chris
Oyetunde - Mortgage Adviser & Partner
I
was born in Nigeria and moved to England in
1986 aged 13. When I finished school I went
to college and completed a BTEC in Business
and Finance with a view to a career in Financial
Services. I began my working life at Sun Alliance
in Watford in 1993 as a trainee underwriter.
In 1998 I joined the Life Division of Royal
SunAlliance as they are now known. I left Royal
SunAlliance in March 2001and joined a small
Independent Financial Adviser in Hitchin where
I achieved my Financial Planning Certificate,
qualifying me as an Independent Financial Adviser.
I was there for one year before joining Ashley
Price Associates in March 2002, in April 2005 I also completed my Certificate in Mortgage Advice. This is very
much a job for life as I married Emma, the boss's
daughter in 1998. We have two wonderful children
Chloe and Libby and live in Welwyn. I enjoy
all sports, spending time with the family and
am also actively involved in our local church.

Emma
Oyetunde - Administrator & Partner
I
was born in Sunderland and moved to Welwyn aged
9. After leaving school I went to Art College
where I completed a Design Craft course. I still
use the skills I learnt there in designing and
making Ashley Price Associates "Moving In"
cards and many other associated items in my
spare time. I joined the family business in
a most unconventional way five years ago. Mum
and Dad were tearing their hair out with the
pressure of all the new business, and being
the dutiful daughter, and between jobs, I helped
to clear some of the backlog. I enjoyed it so
much hearing the responses from happy clients,
that I have been here ever since. I am very
happily married and have two lovely daughters,
Chloe and Libby and tend not to spend so much
time in the office, as I am rather busy looking
after them. I do a lot of office work from home
now. My interests are my children, church life, being a trustee at Chloe's pre-school,
running a youth club and design craft.

Disa
Bone - Administrator
I
come from South Africa and have been here since
January 1999. I come from a banking background
but have only recently got back into the working
world in September 2002, as I have enjoyed spending
time with my 2 children and husband Warren.
In our leisure time we enjoy cycling, camping
and swimming. I have been very fortunate to
be included in this close team where its enthusiasm
spills out towards service excellence.
