Ash graduated from Nottingham Trent University with a degree in Business and Technology and proceeded to work for HMRC for five years. His move from HMRC to Markel Tax in 2008 was a natural fit and he has been part of the claims team for nine years. Ash was promoted to head up the claims team in 2016 and, whilst he still looks after a small portfolio of clients, his main priority is to ensure that the claims department operates in a fair and efficient way.
