Meet the team

Adam joined us in 2016, after working in plumbing and heating for 15 years, most of those as a customer of ASE! He started with us as Sales Account Manager, and is now General Manager with the responsibility of running the business on a daily basis. What he likes most about working here is being part of a smaller, more personal business that can really deliver on customer service.

**Barney Jones - Showroom Manager**

Barney joined us in 2013 working in kitchen sales and design, before becoming our Showroom Manager in 2017. Before joining us he worked in kitchen and bathroom sales, design and installation for more than 10 years, which means he brings a huge amount of knowledge and experience to dealing with customers and their queries. What he enjoys most about working here is the autonomy and ownership he feels as part of the team; being trusted to get on, make decisions and get things done.

**Gary Phillips - Trade Counter Manager**

Gary is a long-standing member of the team, having first joined us in 2006 as our Delivery Driver, before later moving to the trade counter. Joining us was his first job after he left college, and he has now been managing the trade counter since 2018. What he most enjoys about being part of ASE is the autonomy and trust he has always felt, combined with the friendly atmosphere and great team that has given him the space to build and maintain really good customer relationships over the years.

When we recruit

We like to keep joining us as simple as we can.

As a start we will usually ask to have a chat with you on the phone or on Teams, just to get to know each other. We like to keep this fairly informal, and it’s a chance for you to ask questions and work out whether you, us and the job all feel like they fit together well enough to talk more.

After that initial chat, we’ll ask you to come in and see us in person. You’ll meet a couple of us from the management team and get a full tour of the site because we believe that we are all one team, so it is matters to us that you see how we all fit together as a business. This stage will be an interview, but we firmly believe that an interview is a two-way process, so there will be plenty of opportunity for you to ask questions of us, as well as us for us to learn more about you.

We will ask about what you’ve done before, but equally important will be talking with you about what you want to do in the future, what you’re looking for in a job and what is important to you in a workplace. We want to make sure that you’ll be happy here, because that really matters to us.

If we’re not advertising any jobs at the moment, please drop us an email at careers@ase-supplies.co.uk to let us know you’d be interested if anything came up.

We won’t promise to reply quickly to an email like this, but we’d still like to hear from you.
