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.' Shakib Al Hasan |

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
Gareth A White Captain Cockermouth Cricket 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.
Don Lange Chairman of Haxey Cricket Club
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.'

Hartlepool Cricket Club have played in the NYSD Premier League for
over 100 years, and take their cricket very seriously. This years Professional
for Hartlepool is Janaka Gunarathna from Sri Lanka.
Robbie has co-ordinated Janaka's agreement of contract and all the extra
paperwork involved bringing overseas Pro's into the country this year. Robbie
has handled all Club requests very efficiently and effectively
throughout, and Hartlepool were fully prepared with their chosen professional in
place for the beginning of the 2009 Season.
Hartlepool are second top of the League at the moment. Thanks again Robbie.
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!!!

Our club has used Ace Cricket / Rob for several years now. They are always
efficient , very helpful and always available to discuss ours and the target
players needs and requirements , taking into account our clubs budget and the
requirment of the player.They always ensure the necessary documentation is in
place in a short period of time & will even arrange flights at competitive
rates. We have never had a problem with our professionals since we started
using Ace and intend to continue using them in the future.
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.
