In this day of mergers, buyouts and IPO’s, finding a world-class firm that is also truly independent can be difficult. Ashbridge recognizes the value in objectivity and independence that private ownership provides clients. To this end Ashbridge remains and will remain a privately owned firm, owned by both the founding family and its employees. Being non-corporate we can take a longer-term business view that is not beholden to quarterly business profits. This ensures that clients are being provided with advice that is unbiased and free of corporate conflicts inherent in larger non-private organizations.
