ASK Life - Key appointments for ASK life
ASK Life, the innovative residential arm of
award-winning Ask Developments has been strengthened by
the creation of a new management team.
Two key personnel have been appointed to the roles of
Customer Care Manager and Project Manager alongside
existing Head of Sales, Sian Pitt. The team will be
headed up by Director of Ask Life Duncan Bowman.
Mike Melvin, a graduate from Liverpool University has
been appointed as Customer Care Manager. He was
previously Customer Services Manager for the Manchester
Division of Bellway Homes where he was responsible for
the formation and implementation of all customer care
polices since the department was formulated in 2000.
Mike will be charged with a similar role at Ask Life
where he will create and develop customer care policies
and be responsible for managing customers’ residential
purchases from initial enquiry through to sales
completion.
He said: “I am delighted to be joining Ask Life and I am
looking forward to creating a focussed programme that
will reflect the company’s excellent reputation for
putting the customer first.”
Project Manager Jon Weston, 27, follows in Duncan
Bowman’s footsteps moving to Ask Life from Countryside
Properties where he spent more than four years having
completed their intensive two-year Graduate management
programme.
He worked on a number of major mixed-used developments
including the Radius scheme and The Edge, and was
Project Manager on the 180-acre Lower Broughton
Regeneration project, the largest of its kind in the
North West.
He commented: “The role of project manager for Ask Life
will be exciting and rewarding and with the sheer scale
and ambition of our forthcoming schemes, one which I am
looking forward to enormously.”
The team is further strengthened with the support of
marketing executive Ann-Marie Duffy and personal
assistant to the team, Louise Crossley.
These appointments reflect the increasing scale of Ask
Life’s sales and business activity since its inception
12 months ago, and highlight the company’s ambition to
create a substantial portfolio of around 5,100
residential units over the next 10 years.
Ask Life is responsible for delivering residential
schemes within Ask’s own commercial portfolio, including
schemes at Castlefield Quay, Manchester; Greengate,
Salford; St Petersfield, Ashton-under-Lyne and Townside
in Bury.
Plans have already been granted for a 22-storey landmark
tower at Clippers Quay, Salford Quays, which will
consist of 651 apartments and for 162 apartments at
Liberty at St Petersfield in Ashton-under-Lyne.
Earlier this year, all 56 apartments in the first phase
of the scheme to redevelop Urmston town centre were sold
in around two hours.
Director of Ask Life, Duncan Bowman said: “We are
delighted to welcome the two new team members to the
company. These appointments highlight an exciting time
for Ask Life and its burgeoning residential development
portfolio. We have a great number of fantastic new
schemes planned and the new team’s wealth of experience
reflect our ambition to become the north-west’s leading
residential developer.”
