Recommendations & Testimonials

from Players and Clubs:

 

Just a few of the recommendations we have received over the years from Clubs and Individuals alike.


'Rob is someone who knows how to take the pressure off a professional cricketer. He carries plenty of responsibility and allows me to concentrate on my cricket while he takes care of all my endorsement and contract related matters professionally. He is also a great person and a friend. It is very reassuring for me to have him as an agent.'

I was first introduced to Rob the summer of 2006 after a Test tour in England as I was looking for a club to sub-pro for a while. I was a bit apprehensive as it was my first stint playing league cricket in England, but Rob arranged everything almost overnight and made sure that I was well looked after at Blythe CC (my new club). One of the biggest problems I had as a new international cricketer was getting good bat contracts and making sure that I received my payments. This was one of the main reasons I signed Rob as my manager and he immediately sorted me out with a CA contract for two years, and I they have provided me with some excellent bats, and have been prompt with payments. Rob and I get along really well and he is now more of a friend t0han a manager I am extremely satisfied with his service and have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.

St Annes CC used Rob Ashwell to help us sign Dinuk for the 2009 season. Rob was a great help in making sure all paperwork was completed correctly in order for Dinuk to get over to England as early in the season as possible. As everybody knows it was very difficult to get 2009 Professionals into England . It was thanks to the hard work and knowledge of Rob that we managed to get Dinuk to England and he only missed the first game of the season. Most of the Professionals in the Northern Premier League weren’t able to get in as early as Dinuk and St Annes CC, especially myself and Graham Tindall, really appreciated Rob’s efforts. Dinuk has re-signed for 2010 and we won’t hesitate in using Rob for any future Professional appointments.

As Captain of Cockermouth Cricket Club, selecting the ideal Professional having had an excellent Pro for seven years, was a tough task. Thankfully, with the help of Rob Ashwell at acecricketexchange.co.uk, I managed to find exactly what we were looking for in terms of playing ability and coaching aspirations. I could not recommend Rob and his services any higher. He knows all players contracted to the agency personally, provides support and advice at all points of searching and signing and is approachable and contactable at all times. I would not hesitate in recommending acecricketexchange.co.uk to anybody looking to engage a Professional for their club

We had been promised the world by an agent claiming to be the best in the UK, turned out he was trying to get our chosen player into the country illegally and subsequently the player was returned home to NZ. Our club was in dire need of a quality player/coach at the very, very last minute. All hope seemed lost until I spoke to Rob Ashwell of Ace Cricket Exchange, who found us a player and had a contract signed and returned inside 2 days!! We are stoked with our player, Lyndon Brown of Kwa-Zulu Natal in South Africa, he is a fantastic guy, very sociable and a great coach. I rate Ace Cricket Exchange as the best in the business in UK because of their honesty and speed of service, hats of to them.

When one sees recommendations for a particular company on that company's website, they are usually read with some scepticism. In the case of Rob Ashwell's website this is far from the case. As Chairman of Haxey Cricket Club, we have had Sri Lankan players from Rob for the last three years and the professionalism of both Rob and his charges have been first class. I have recommended Rob to a number of other clubs in our league (Lincolnshire Premier League) and would have no hesitation in saying that his website 'acecricketexchange.co.uk' should be the first site that you look at if you want service and a quality player.

Haverigg CC worked with Rob Ashwell in securing the services of S Sriram in 2007. Rob has been a consummate professional in establishing contact with Sriram and acting fairly for both sides during negotiation. Rob has remained in contact with player and club throughout the season and has shown a genuine interest in the progression of player and club. We would be happy to recommend Rob to other clubs.'

I first dealt with Rob Ashwell during our 2006 season when as a club we were suffering with a problematic professional via another agency. Rob was fantastic and arranged for our club the services of "Jehan Mubarak" who the week before had been opening the batting for Sri Lanka against England at Lords, as our substitute professional. Such was the relationship and quality of service that "ace cricket exchange" and in particular Rob himself struck up with our club that we returned to him in the close season. We knew exactly what kind of  professional we were after for 2007 and with Rob's help and advice we secured the services of "Ranil  Dhammika". We could not have asked for better. Ranil was easily the best professional in our division if not the league, and was a fantastic figure head for our club, not just as a player but as a role model for junior and senior players alike. Ranil's performances resulted in Blythe Cricket Club winning our league and ensuring promotion into "division one" of the North Staffordshire and South Cheshire League. This is the single greatest  playing achievement in the past 34 years of our clubs history and an achievement that would not of been possible without ace cricket exchange or Rob Ashwell. We did not hesitate to resign Ranil for our 2008 season and are looking forward to it already. If your serious about being a successful cricket club on the field of play then look no further than Ace Cricket Exchange!!!

Chris Barker - Secretary- Walsden CC Central Lancashire League

Having dealt with numerous agents over the years, there are two things that sets the Ace Cricket Exchange apart from other agencies: 
1) We us a club had very specific requirements for a cricket professional who would be an enthusiastic coach to work in schools full time, and Rob found us what we consider to be the "perfect" person to assume this vital role for the club.   
2) Rob is in constant contact with both the professional AND the club throughout the season, taking a genuine interest in the performances and progress of the player and the club.
