Is This The End of Ashville? 

The stress levels this man must've been going through during this while delivering us weekly vids with a smile! What a legend man. Very VERY inspired. Over the moon for you Daniel. This is Massive!

Turned a potentially fatal situation into a business growing opportunity 👏👏👏

This is probably one of the most inspiring business videos I've seen. The 3d render of the new yard plans are sick. The thought and planning you put into everything while being able to adapt to crazy stressful situations out of your control is really impressive.

This country needs more blokes like you ! What a legend!

YOU BEAST. How on earth did you deal with all that stress and worry for all the employees that depend on there jobs and still put out weekly 4k movies. You are a TRUE inspiration, leader and LEGEND.

As a network rail employee, I'm extremely happy the company have given ashville this opportunity 😀

I don’t think I’ve ever been this gassed for somebody I’ve never met before! What a fantastic result! Over the moon for you Dan, Well done Sir! And seeing this new yard get built is going to be such a treat! Thank you 🙏🏽

Fair play, Dan. Taken the company on your shoulders and safely moved not just the business, but the livelihoods of your entire team too. You’ve secured a lot of people’s futures through your hard work and the sensible management of your company. Well done 👏🏻

I started watching Daniel at a point in my life where I lost all my businesses and had to start from fresh in a whole new industry. From watching these videos I not only learned a lot about myself and found encouragement to get back on my feet, I flourished in life along with my partner and kids to new levels of success from the ground up and I mean the ground, we had debt collectors at our door with nothing but a £5 note to get dinner for our kids that night to three thriving and successful businesses once again in a short space of time, something like 18 months. It’s now two and a half years on and we are in that spot again, where it could either go very right or very very wrong and to be watching this video today just gave me the biggest lift of adrenaline that I can’t see any other way but to fight on and keep on pushing. You give us strength mate, all of you there. Thanks for all of this and I wish you nothing but the best. Keep smashing life. 👊🏼

Yes NETWORK RAIL this is going to be great to watch. Let’s go 💪💪.

Daniel is an example of what great business owners do and what sets them apart for success. While all this unbelievable amount of pressure and uncertainty was on, he was calm on the surface, putting up a smile, keeping his staff safe from worry anf fear of job loss, and kept everything under control. Respect.

After reading the title, I was waiting for the famous “HOWEVER” which Daniel said twice then the big grin. I celebrate with Ashville’s growth. Your hustle is recognised and respected

Thank You Network Rail for keeping Ashville Alive.

Congrats, a 50 year lease must be a huge relief. 🎉

It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Bigger and better. Congrats

It’s always darkest before the dawn! Amazing news and so happy that you managed to salvage the situation and turn it into a win! 🏆

Absolutely buzzing for you Dan! Gave me goose bumps when he revealed the new layout. Cheers to a whole new load of content🔥🔥

I literally found myself saying out loud “get in Daniel, superb mate, oh I’m so happy for you” I genuinely am so happy for Daniel and all the staff who helped him on his journey! Let’s go Ashville 💪🏻

I cannot believe how transparent you have been with us as just mere viewers. Incredible to watch.

I’m 73 female & I enjoy watching your videos every week. So happy for you & the team Daniel…

This has been probably one of the best news videos we've seen here for .. years.. Weird that, we watch your show every week from Australia, even bought merch and feel like part of it. Congrats on the new site.

Ashville can kip on me sofa till you sort something lads! We got ya back!!!

The tension at the beginning nearly brought to tears …lol loving watching your success an growth

You are a true leader, shouldering the burden of this stress for your employees. Like a good father. Hats off Daniel! And to more success to Ashville Group!

Daniel, there's an old Irish saying "What's for you, won't pass you" Your hard work, dedication and commitment to the betterment of yourself, Ashville & your staff is reaping rewards now Well done on securing a 50yr lease to grow Ashville even further 👏 👍

Man that sounds like an insanely stressful, but from all that stress looks like Ashville raising to be bigger badder and stronger. Congrats!

I got a random recommendation for this video and thought, what, let me see what it is about, and boy am I glad I did. This is not something would have ever been interested in, but it was so inspiring, thank you so much! It is true what you said, just when you think all odds are stacked against you, things work out better than you could have ever imagined. I Experienced it firsthand with my own small business when the pandemic started and thought we are completely ruined. Now we are better off than before and our business has grown considerably over the last couple of years. You have a new Subscriber here!

Absolutely insane, I can’t image the stress you were going through during the holidays trying to hold everything together for the team! Well done, the hard work and stress is paying off and I wish you all only the best in this new chapter!

Just imagine if Dan wasn’t in to trains. Truly a reminder that you are the sum of all your parts. All the talks and speeches you delivered at the rail ceremonies, the front cover the magazines, all built up to this moment. No doubt you had to squeeze some of that in your schedule and you could have done with being in the yard instead. You make your own luck, the harder you work, the luckier you get. Fair play, from here until retirement, long live Ashville

SERIOUS! That new yard plan looks immense, glad you’ve secured the site for at least 50 years!

This is my first time seeing you man, and inspirational does not even cut it. You’ve transformed my view on business and believing you can!

The way you handled this situation, shows EXACTLY why you are successful. Inspiring!

You should be so proud of yourself, Daniel. Moving to the new yard will push Ashville on not only to the next level but way beyond. The new yard will be an amazing place for your employees to come to work every day. We'll done man 🎉

Never clicked a video so fast!

Awesome, very pleased for you. If anyones going through difficult times in business you must keep going and give all your energy to the problems and they will make you greater. Be great, don’t stop, keep on going!

16:45 - I needed to hear that right now, i’m grinding away on a much smaller scale. I’m glad everything has worked out for you, you really do deserve it! Best of luck with the rest of your challenges in the future.

Bloody hell Daniel, it’s a good job you are built like a Brick Sh*t House having to carry around all that weight of stress on your shoulders. It just goes to show that we only see a very small snap shot of what goes on in the world of Ashville. Congrats Daniel, as they say as one door closes another one opens. In this case a much bigger and better door opened and you now have the space for Ashville to continue to grow and expand. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you and I’m looking forward to seeing all the extra videos of the new yard taking shape, how you utilise the space to its greatest effect, bringing together Rail and Road in even greater harmony. Well deserved Daniel and your entire team without who none of this would be possible 👍🇬🇧

I’ve been watching these vids from the beginning but this one.. dam man the stress you must have been under during those days leading up to Christmas PLUS your operation. Most people would crumble, but you’re always smiling and pushing positivity. Thank you!

fantastic - what a trip that was. Grit, determination and a little bit of luck. future is indeed spotless! Can't wait to see the build.

Dude!! I donno why this was suggested but I'm so hyped! I thought this was going to be a video about the end of Ashville, North Carolina. I donno anything about what you do but it looks like I've got some videos to catch up on!

I can only imagine the stress this has caused you personally, and to see the smile on your face when you let on your plans for the new yard is awesome.

Can’t think of anyone and any business that deserves this more . So pleased for you and the team Daniel 👏👏👏👏👏👏

This is all amazing! I always saw that disused yard next to you're current yard and thought, "Man, what if he integrates the two?" I did not know you where all in a lease agreement, but now it all makes sense! Amazing stuff Dan! Looking forward to seeing what this new 5 acre yard will give you all in the future! 👍👍

Mate, you are an inspiration. I am genuinely happy for you onwards and upwards.👊🏽

Insane that the Ashville team have been keeping up the video quality over the last several months of what must have been intense stress and effort. This feels like a bend or break moment, and you've come out the end as the correct shape! Here's to 49 1/2 years more of content 😁

That was a ‘deep dish’!! Over the moon for Daniel and the Ashville family.👍

Almost shed a tear!!! Tears of joy. What a journey Ashville has been on.

I’m so happy for Daniel and Ashville. I look forward to years of videos as it develops.

This is SERIOUS… and I am FURIOUS… 😂😂

We are so chuffed for you . Just an old couple enjoying our Sunday mornings watching you ...this is fabulous xx

Dan im so glad you overcame the problem, im so happy for you mate cheers😀

Well done! Faith, persistent, and dedication! Hope it goes well! 🙏

Man, I'm surprised you've not gone grey or bald from all the stress you must have been under Daniel! What a journey, I'm super excited to see how the new yard progresses and for all the new opportunities for Ashville that will come along with it. What a time to be alive!

I got scared when I read the title of the video, but after watching the video, I was so happy for Ashville. Ashville is gonna grow a lot, I'm excited for Ashville.

No idea how you remain so calm. Brilliant content and you now have a new fan.

Amazing news Dan! Must have been a lot of sleepless nights! I've had to submit a break clause letter on the deadline day myself, and that alone was stress enough for me! So glad you've got this exciting new chapter coming!

Great news, as a railway engineer for nearly 40 years its great to see businesses like yours thriving and expanding into the rail environment.. Would love to have designed and built your railhead for you😉... Good Luck!!!

So much respect for Dan, No excuses just getting it done

I stumbled onto this video and was hooked by the story. As a business owner I am inspired to keep working hard. THANK YOU

I’m just truly happy for all your achievements and of course your hard work into the business to keep going up and thriving. Wish all the best !!!

It’s Monday morning and I’m in the NEW yard! Absolutely fantastic news! Simply awesome!

Daniel is SERIOUS!! Flipping the problem on its head and growing the business, Huge Respect💪

Genuinely soo happy for you man you deserve it god bless you!!!

Very inspiring. to not give up in the face of adversity, to come out on top and actually better than previously. very happy for you and your company Daniel!

This man is serious. Shoutout ASHVILLE. Captain of industry.

Honestly Daniel/Ashville I am so happy you have secured a new yard, it means you can expand and grow just like you want. On a personal level you must have tremendously proud family, fiends and colleagues Daniel. You work harder and harder every weekly episode and it’s crazy. Hats off to you, keep smashing it

I am living a similar story right now, and you are right...just keep working. find that way out!!!

This country needs more guys like this. What a top bloke. This is what hard work brings, and long may it continue.

Dan leveling up as he should. Congrats to the Ashville team. It's only up from here. Blessings and prosperity to Ashville🇹🇹

And this is exactly why I will continue to watch and support this guy! Absolute maverick and inspiration to entrepreneurs and business owners!! Keep smashing it

From South Africa and also in the construction field. Been watching your videos for the longest. So inspired. When you work hard luck will locate you.

Fantastic outcome for you Daniel, bearing in mind the difficulties you could have had finding a suitable property to move the business to, it’s amazing that you’re on,y having to move such a short distance. Even better that you’re not going to lose any staff due to relocation, it’s damned hard finding a good team that you know can do the jobs but also don’t cause you headaches too often. And to end up with such a great lease on a site where you’ve got length of tenure and space that mean you can invest in short term improvements and longer term expansion! Sounds like a win-win! Can’t wait to hear and see the next stages of the story!

Amazing job, ASHVILLE TEAM, So happy you have a fully dedicated yard to do what you want knowing you have it for 50 years.

Nothing short of incredible what Daniel continues to achieve. A true inspiration to anyone who watches these videos. Big ups Daniel

Damn well done bro! Good luck with it all. Really happy for you!!

You’ve came so far Daniel, you’re a true inspiration and you inspire us all to do what we want to do and to make it happen. Keep up the great work! I can’t wait to see the new yard take shape. 👊

The start of the next chapter in the Ashville story. Loads of potential to grow and expand your business and security for the next 50 years. That's good knowing where you stand for future growth and investing in the business. Wishing you the best of luck with your new home and am looking forward to seeing more episodes of Ashville weekly in the future.

I’ve never been more happier for someone I don’t know. What an absolute perfect situation of showing us that anything is possible. Truly inspiring.

Well done Dan! You should be very proud of yourself mate! You deserve the new yard plus more 💯💪

This is phenomenal news! Well done, all power to your intentions - moving more road traffic to rail is an incredible target, and I think you have the drive and vision to achieve it. God speed and strength to you. Can't wait to see your progress. Wish I could join in and help!

For every person thinking running a business is a walk in the park, this episode teaches you a thing or two. Much respect, Daniel.

Exciting news Daniel! So glad things worked out for the best!! This is SERIOUS!

I was so nervous for you and the team and the first 10 mins im thinking no no but then when you said your bid was accepted, oh man i was so happy for you. I follow your journey and look up to you how you deal with problems head on. You’re amazing and best of luck for the future. I would love to come and visit one day. Keep up your amazing work.

So glad Ashville has a new home for a long time, must be a huge release Well done Daniel will still be watching.

Genuinely pleased for you and can see how enthusiastic you are about it. We’re stuck in our rented yard not too far from you with another 5 year lease, by the time this one finishes, we could’ve bought the place. Good luck to you buddy.
