Meet the team: Ashley Jewitt

How did your journey at Bluestones One begin and what has it been like since?
I joined Bluestones One in March 2018 after meeting with all the key stakeholders within the Group. It felt right and we were very much aligned in terms of how we wanted to approach building the business. Having the support network available, whilst having full rein to run our business, has been the reason why we have achieved what we have today and a testament to all involved.

What do you enjoy about working in this industry?
I like to be busy and working in our industry it is certainly that! There are always new challenges to overcome which is a big strength of ours and very rewarding when we deliver for our customers. We are always pushing ourselves with ideas and initiatives to maximise our service offering and lead the business to the next stage of the journey, which is very exciting to be a part of.

What is your proudest professional moment?
I have had some very proud moments throughout my career, but the proudest moment for me would be winning the most profitable business within the Group within a 3-year period of setting the business up. The work that went into this was immense and shows what a great network of people we have surrounding us.

What are your values as a leader?
Our service is very much about our workforce and the customers, so a big key value for me is the focus on our people which leads to delivering the highest standard of service in the industry. Vision is also a big value for me as we need to continuously thinking of new ideas and ways to keep the business ahead of the curve.

How would you describe the company culture at Bluestones One?
The culture at Bluestones One is one of the very best I’ve worked with. We are experiencing rapid growth so we have invested in new faces within the business that will bring a different dynamic to the team. Our focus will always be to recognise our people and maintain our \’one team\’ approach which in turn creates a very enjoyable place to work.

What do you like to do in your spare time?
I have a lovely wife, two amazing children, and we are always busy together in the outdoors camping or visiting new places. I enjoy catching up with friends and I also like to mix dance music.

Tell us something about yourself that we wouldn’t expect
When I was younger, I used to go to school in Tenerife and spoke fluent Spanish.
