Ashton's
is owned and run by husband and wife team Jan and Dean Ashton
(ably assisted by Ruby the Bulldog).
Ashton's opened its
doors to the motorcycling public on February 4th 2005 after 2
years of planning and searching for the right shop and location.
They quit their jobs in
Marketing and IT Support to start a new venture that would
(hopefully) be more rewarding and less hectic than life in
London.
Originally a motor mechanic,
Dean and is obsessed by
all things bike related and usually has a couple of projects on
the go. After spending so much time in other
people's shops they thought his tinkering habit would be easier to
fund if they opened their own shop! Jan is a self
confessed 'shopaholic' and her vast experience as a consumer
has helped give the shop a more friendly 'high street' feel
rather than the male orientated bike shop of old.
In
keeping with current biking trends, Ashton's stock a large range
of ladies clothing in textile and leather, as well as children's
clothing and helmets for 6-12 year olds.
Stock is kept up to date
and fresh by
watching the market and listening to customers comments and
suggestions. If you cannot find what you are looking for, they
will do their best to find it or at least point you in the right
direction... |
