The LRG Team
Ashley Cooper
Managing Director
I am a Chartered Insurance Broker with over 30 years’ experience in the industry. I started my career with the family business, LRG Insurance Brokers in1988. I subsequently gained experience as a Regional Director of a National Insurance Broker and Deputy Regional Managing Director of an International Brokerage. After several years working in the corporate world I am excited to be running an independent owner managed business with a focus on customer service. In my spare time I very much enjoy following Rugby, supporting both Saracens and of course England. I am also an avid fan of Motor Racing, Formula 1, Le Mans and lower levels of the sport. Over the last few years I’ve been learning to sail and windsurf and try to practice these sports when I get the opportunity. I enjoy being with my family, socializing with friends, and eating out at good restaurants.

Julie Hurren
Account Executive
I have been a commercial insurance exec for the past 20 years. I have over 35 years of experience within the insurance industry. Some of my clients have been with me for over 25 years so I must be doing something right! I also look after household insurances and employee benefits to try and encompass all the insurances under one roof. I do a lot of networking as I do like to chat as I am sure anyone who knows me will verify. When I am not working or talking, I like drinking tea and walking my dog Bobby who is a 4 year old Jackapoo. I love spending time with the family and enjoy weekends away either boating or in the caravan.
