About John

Helping people move on since 1981

Award-winning developer of commercial and residential property in his hometown of Hull and the Humber region, John Ainsley is an accredited landlord and proud ex-chairman of the Humber Landlords Association (HLA).

John Ainsley & Co have built a reputation within the industry and private rented sector for honesty, ethics and integrity and were recognised and awarded by the Hull Civic Society for contributing to the regeneration of Hull City Centre.

John has been happily married to Karen since 1979 and has three children, who are all involved in the family-run company.

Away from the business and following in his father’s footsteps, John is an ex-chairman of Hessle Theatre Company and remains a proud performing member.

“My dad, Tony, was a well-known and respected butcher on Hessle Road, Hull, since the 1940s. His business was built on integrity, his word was his bond and he was liked by all who knew him. Our business is run on exactly those principals.”
