Production Manager

Ashley’s passion for music began at a very young age, and growing up in a musical family, pursuing a career within the industry was inevitable.
He first took to the professional stage with The Panto Company in 2006, and in the 16 years since has had the pleasure of performing in amazing places with amazing people.
Ashley has had the fortune of combining work with travel having performed on board Princess Cruises for over 6 years, firstly with a function band, then moving in to production as vocal captain. Under great tutelage, and with plenty of hard work, he soon learned what makes a show a cut above the rest. Attention to detail and tenacity in teamwork.
Not long after leaving his sea legs behind and settling down with his wife and two dogs, he met Adam and the Curtis family, and has had the honour of working with them since.
Ashley is thrilled to be Production Manager for this fantastic company.
