Meet the Technician: Ashley Ross
For Ashley, no two days are the same, and that is exactly what he enjoys most about the job. He loves the freedom of managing his own business, working outdoors, and building something for himself.
What do you enjoy most about your job? It’s different every day, I have the freedom to manage my own business, and I love to be working outside.
What’s one skill that really helps you succeed in your role? Having perseverance.
What’s the biggest challenge in your job? The weather, especially the rain, it makes repairing the glass much more difficult. I don’t mind the cold so much and heated gloves are a lifesaver.
What’s one thing customers might not realise about your job? How much actually goes into the job, like all the tools and the preparation.
Quick fire with Ashley
Tea or coffee? Coffee
Early bird or night owl? If I had to pick one, then night owl.
Favourite holiday destination? The Maldives are amazing, but anywhere on the Southeast coast of Spain is beautiful.
Favourite food? Pizza
If you weren’t doing this job, what would you be doing? Probably what I was doing before, so an apprentice mechanic mainly because I love cars so much.
What advice would you give to someone starting in your role? Put the legwork in early and get out there, set yourself up online to get yourself known. But also, make sure not to overstretch yourself by trying to deal with everyone at one because it’s not possible and you’ll be too tired from driving, say 200 miles a day.
