We sell focus.

Work isn’t going away. However much we outsource and automate, at Ashore we believe there’ll always be a role for the human creator.

But we’re still working like 20th-century office drones, when we should be working like artists. Ashore exists to unlock teams’ innate creativity: finding focus in new locations, away from everyday distractions.

We’re a small team backed by some of the UK’s top investors - including Rory Sutherland, Vice Chair of Ogilvy.

Our leadership team

Aled Maclean-JonesCo-founder and CEOA former Treasury political adviser, Aled left government after the birth of his first child to rethink how and where we work. Drawing on the practices of artists, writers, and musicians, his obsession is on finding the perfect spaces for focus and creativity.

Stephanie EwingCo-founder and COOIn her previous life in enterprise sales, getting the team together too often meant booking a cramped short term rental with intermittent wifi. After an early Ashore stay showed her a better way of getting things done, Steph left her job, and now leads our operations team.

Jon SherrardCo-founder and CTOIn a bustling Mexico City café, a glitchy-call on a small chair made Jon rethink our approaches to how we work. He now leads our tech team, alongside driving our approach to design and creative. If you love our brand and website, it’s him you have to thank.
