Ashley Blackmore

Partner, Positive Momentum

Ashley is a consultant with Positive Momentum and whilst he has a broad range of clients his sweet spot is businesses with sustainability at their core.

At 18 he was doing business with farmers, and by his early twenties was selling mobile phones – when they were £3,000 each! Today he lives in the East of England flatlands with his wife Ros. He loves a sporting challenge and is currently focused on a channel swim in the next couple of years.
