Meet the Team

Graham Tate - aka 'The Boss', Managing Director

Hello,

I am the guy who always gets asked ‘Haven’t you retired yet?’ Well, the answer is ‘No’. I have not finished the job I started in July 1972, although there is a faint light at the end of that tunnel!

Pulled into Ashley Bearings (as we were then called) when just a kid of 24 I had a challenge and fulfilled my years trying to create a company who could serve industry and give the customer what they craved for: someone who cares.

I have built up a great team – I must admit now the best team ever – and will keep you informed as to when the retirement party begins!
