Craig Ashby

Craig has always had a very keen interest in property and it is with much excitement and enthusiasm that he begins his new appointment as a member of the lifestyle and rural sales team at Barfoot & Thompson, Pukekohe.

Craig’s extensive business background first in finance as a chartered accountant, and later in corporate New Zealand for 20 years, included Managing Director of several large marketing and sales oriented companies, provides a sound backdrop for a successful career in real estate.

Among Craig’s many achievements, was the development and start up of his own successful sales and distribution business which after ten years sold as a going concern, and was followed by several independent directorships of private companies. These were both interesting and rewarding, however, they kept Craig in the board room rather than out on the land.

Craig and his wife developed a 50 acre lifestyle property in Ramarama from scratch; gaining firsthand experience with local councils, consent processes, building and practical knowledge for caring of land and livestock.

Together with Barfoot & Thompson’s professional lifestyle/ rural team, Craig can now harness his knowledge, enthusiasm and experience ensuring the best possible outcomes for all of his clients.
