company profile
  ASH Associates the IT recruitment consultants a UK employment agency who first began hard day at the office ash-associates.com IT Recruitment Consultantstrading in May 1989 and is now a member of the TOGA Group Partnership. The original concept was to deliver a personal service and although we have grown to include a number of support staff (All office staff based at our TOGA Group offices) we have stayed true to this original concept. As a UK employment agency we specialise in employment in the UK. The recruitment of software engineers and programmers for the real time, computer IT and Internet markets. We concentrate only on PERMANENT positions and candidates seeking those positions. NB: Our involvement in the CONTRACT market is now essentially limited to IT Consultants for the UK Government Markets. Our general involvement in the contract market ceased in January 2001.

 
software development
  We are also very involved in the design and development of Software in conjunction with our associate companies for both our own use and for our clients, applications include CRM systems, office management software and Internet/Web applications development.

 
PC building
  With our years of experience in both software and hardware development it was easy for us to assemble computers for our own use. As is usual word gets around and we ended up assembling computers for our friends, relatives and their friends and associates. This is now growing into a full business called LifeStyleComputers a member of the TOGA Group Partnership http://www.lifestylecomputers.co.uk). Concentrating on the local market (Ferndown, Bournemouth and Poole) we build PC's for business and the home specialising in small form factor PC's such as the Shuttle and Ideq which we consider to be some of the most stylish PC's to be found outside of the MAC range which we admire but it has too steep learning curve for those users brought up on the PC. We also stock a range of high performance laptops for Business and Education environments.

 
our business partnerships
  Ash Associates have formed a number of partnerships over the years and can now provide a range of additional services including IT Consultancy (Government and Public Sector appointments), Recruitment of Sales and Senior Management professionals.
