Our story

Quality you can afford.

Ashford Approved is the sister dealership to Ashford Motors — mainstream brands at accessible prices, with the same quality standards the Ashford name is built on. Founded by Nadia Adan, it's built around one idea: every budget deserves a car you can trust.

Where Ashford Motors handles prestige and high-end stock, Approved takes a different lane — popular makes, real-world budgets, and every car properly checked before it reaches the forecourt. Ford, Volkswagen, Toyota, BMW, Skoda, Hyundai: the brands are familiar. The standard isn't compromised. Ashford Approved exists for people who want the confidence of a quality dealership without paying a premium for it.

Why we drive.

Ashford Approved leads the Bear Run — an annual charity supercar drive raising funds for BUMBLEance, Ireland's children's ambulance service. In 2026, the Bear Run raised €90,000 for BUMBLEance. The team has also supported Men's Aid in 2024 and 2025.
