Rob is the driving force behind Copper Ashton Developments and its commitment to repurpose buildings in the Bristol and South West region. Belief in the importance of family and quality of life are the foundations of his enthusiasm. His aim is to create well designed living spaces, suitable for a modern world from old and under-utilised buildings.
He has owned a number of properties over the years, including a holiday rental home in Florida. An unreliable and ultimately disappearing property management agent, resulted in a crash course in property management at a distance of 4,000 miles! The experience provided him with invaluable skills, and ultimately he was able to assemble a team to help overcome the problem.
Since the start of the millennium, Suzy has owned a number of rental properties in the UK. The property investment company, Copper Ashton Properties, was her brainchild. It established the potential of multi-unit freehold blocks as a viable property investment strategy. She is an integral part of strategic decision-making at Copper Ashton Developments.
She has always bought the properties she has lived in with an eye on their potential and consequently has been able to add value through making improvements.
Sharing Rob's family values and commitment to a happy and healthy work-life balance, Suzy is well-known in the Bristol business community.
Like Rob, she graduated with a BSc in Mathematics from the University of Surrey and went on to work in education and IT for over 35 years. She now runs it'seeze websites - a small and friendly Bristol based company who create websites for businesses across the South West.
She uses her skills as a business owner and educator to act as a mentor and coach for others, helping them to define their objectives and organise their busy day-to-day challenges to achieve business success.
