In 2022, Ash had built a £20M fee business across three brands with a £35M PE offer on the table one week from close, the deal collapsed. What followed was a complete reset. Ash stepped back in as CEO, sold BioTalent, rebuilt the leadership team from scratch, and made a series of deliberate decisions across culture, systems, product and strategy that drove 40-50% YoY growth and repositioned Trinnovo as a genuinely PE-ready business.
