Ashley & Newey has announced a change in ownership following a successful management take-over by former Business Manager Shaun Read.

The transition opens a new chapter for the wholesaler as it continues to provide high-quality holidays and innovative packages to coach operators across the UK.

Ashley Booth, former Managing Director, retires having spent 35 years at the helm of Ashley & Newey.

“I am extremely confident in the success of the company under Shaun’s stewardship and wish him the best of luck! I am looking forward to continuing to support the business into the future,” says Ashley.

Newly appointed Managing Director Shaun Read, who is also a board member of CTA, brings industry knowledge and product experience together at Ashley & Newey, having contributed significantly to its growth over the past seven years.

Under new leadership, the company will focus on expanding its product and service offering, as well as continuing to offer high levels of service and support to coach operators of all sizes.

“It is a great honour to have worked so closely with Ashley these past seven years and to carry on with the outstanding work our team achieves every day. I look forward to continuing the successes achieved under Ashley’s leadership, expanding into new markets, and growing our team,” says Shaun Read, Managing Director.

Sales Manager, Steven Scott, and the rest of the team will remain in their roles with day-to-day operations continuing as ‘business as usual’ following the change in ownership.
