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.

I joined LRG in May 2012 and I’m the senior adviser here.. My qualifications are in both Financial and Mortgage Advice: Financial Planning Certificates 1, 2 & 3, MAQ, DipFa and CeRER. I can advise on all types of mortgage, including equity release. I have over 35 years’ experience in finance. I started my working life at Barclays Bank, then moving from banking to insurance at the Prudential as a consultant to IFAs where I qualified as a Financial Adviser. For the last 15 years I have been advising on mortgages. When I’m not at work I enjoy meeting up with friends and family. I’ve been a hornet’s fan since childhood and try to get along to Watford Football Club to see the odd match, with mixed results!

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.

Mortgage Advisor
I joined LRG in 2017 as a fully qualified Mortgage and Protection Adviser. I currently hold a CeMAP qualification in mortgage advice and have previous mortgage experience advising in an estate agency environment. Prior to that, I worked in various roles for some time at Barclays Bank, which is where I started my career in Finance.
