    Ashley Clark

    Principal

    Recently moving to London after growing up in Buckinghamshire, Ashley’s career started in the police where he gained significant life experience on the beat. Ashley then transitioned his career into recruitment 5 years ago, initially in the finance industry and then in the logistics sector. He is now continuing his recruitment success at Datacenter People searching and hunting out the best data center talent globally.
     
    Outside of work, you can find Ashley picking baby clothes for his young son, playing football, watching football, dreaming football (he likes football!) or eating something sweet. His love for football will also see him arguing in the office that Spurs are the best team in London, an argument that he generally loses given that there are both Chelsea and Arsenal supporters in the office.
