Name: Jo Ecob
Company: Abrams Ashton
Position: Director

Brief CV:
I studied for my degree in Economics at Leeds University. I was always fairly certain on my career path, and so after University pursued my professional training and qualification with international company KPMG.

I then moved to Abrams Ashton, were I have spent the past 20 years at the forefront of the growth and development for the firm.

Favourite music of the moment:
At the moment I love listening to Florence and the Machine, she has such a unique voice and style. It’s just easy listening and puts me in a good mood.

Your must-watch TV:
I enjoy watching BBC Breakfast news; it’s an informed start to the day. It really helps kick start me of a morning, so I’m ready for a busy day ahead by the time I reach work.

Ideal way to wind down after work:
The best way to relax without at doubt is with a drink at the local with friends and neighbours. There’s no better way to let go.

Best piece of business advice:
“Nobody said it would be easy – just keep the vision and keep working effectively.”
