What does it take to walk away from a 10-year corporate career, leap into business ownership, and build something truly your own?

In this heartfelt and inspiring episode of The Alternative Property Management Show, David and Harrison are joined by Ashleigh Clutterbuck — BDM, co-founder of THG Property Management (part of The Hancock Group), PMC keynote speaker, and one of the most authentic voices in the New Zealand property management industry.

Ashleigh opens up about her journey — from her early days at Ray White Christchurch, to navigating the personal loss of her mum, to finding the courage to back herself and go into business with Hancock Group co-founder Mehdi Keegan. Just 16 months in, the results are already speaking for themselves.

In this episode, we cover:

How Ashleigh built her personal brand so powerfully that leads come to her — without cold calling
Why she left a 10-year career at Ray White and what gave her the courage to take the leap
The realities of starting a boutique property management business from scratch
Why Christchurch and the Selwyn district are some of the most exciting investment markets in New Zealand right now
Smart investor advice — why point of difference in a property matters more than ever
What to expect from Ashleigh's keynote at the PMC — 11 lessons from 11 years in the industry
How AI tools like Claude are starting to make their way into property management workflows
The power of personal brand, authenticity, and showing up consistently for your clients

Ashleigh's story is one of resilience, self-belief, and genuine passion for people — and it shows in everything she does.

"The hardest things in life are often the best things that happen to us." — Ashleigh Clutterbuck
