Ashley & Newey completes management take-over

Ashley & Newey, a top wholesale coach holiday provider, is pleased to announce a change in ownership following a successful management take-over by former Business Manager Shaun Read. This transition opens in a new chapter for the company 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 more than 60 years in hospitality from candy floss stand attendant to General Manager of the Blackwell Grange Hotel, followed most recently by 35 years at the helm of Ashley & Newey. Ashley commented, “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.”

Shaun Read, newly appointed Managing Director, brings industry knowledge and product experience together at Ashley & Newey, having contributed significantly to its growth over the past 7 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.

Shaun Read, Managing Director, said “It is a great honour to have worked so closely with Ashley these past 7 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.”

Sales Manager, Steven Scott, and the rest of our team continue in their roles with day-to-day operations very much ‘business as usual’ following the change in ownership. This is supported by heavy investment in recent years, upgrading the company’s digital presence and improved online access to holiday packages and instant live availability at www.ashleynewey.co.uk.

Ashley & Newey remains committed in its dedication to coach operators and ensuring their needs are met in all areas and will continue to provide high-quality and unforgettable coach holiday experiences for travellers across the UK. Clients can expect the same outstanding customer service and attention to detail that defines Ashley & Newey's reputation.
