He has worked for both corporate and independent agencies and owing to his breadth of experience has gathered vital knowledge in knowing what works, and more importantly what doesn't. He was keen to move from the restrictions of the corporate world back into a market leading independent agent, so when the opportunity came to join the team here at Keith Ashton, it ticked all the boxes. James is married to Rachel, and has two young children, Emily and Joseph (and a dog Ralph). In his free time he enjoys football, cycling and the ever rarer game of golf!!

    Ben Clarke - Sales Manager
    Growing up in the small commuter village of Ingatestone, Ben's agency career began at the tender age of 18 when he started working for a small family run agency in Billericay. Looking to develop his career further, Ben then moved to another independent agent in the affluent area of Shenfield, allowing him to develop his skills in a demanding marketplace, focusing on high levels of customer service and attention to detail. After a number of successful years in the Shenfield & Brentwood area, Ben joined a hybrid agency in Havering where he gained valuable experience in a fast-moving market. However, the lure of a traditional, personal estate agency closer to home was too good to resist, and the beginning of 2020 saw Ben joining the team at Keith Ashtons'. In his spare time Ben enjoys playing guitar with his band at local pubs and clubs in addition to going to the gym, spending time with friends & family and watching Formula 1.
