Ellie Ash

Manager

Ellie keeps busy with a bit of everything, from accounts and VAT returns to CIS returns, tax returns and even the social media side of our marketing.

Born and raised in Liverpool, you’ll likely find her reading, exploring new restaurants, shopping (and yes, spending money), or hanging out with family and friends.

Fun fact: Butterworth Barlow is Ellie’s first job in accountancy, but before that, she was serving drinks in bars on Castle Street – so she’s no stranger to keeping things flowing smoothly!
