Meet Leah & Ash

Parents from Brisbane, QLD

This married couple complement each other very well. Both are sociable, can be the life of the party, and are not afraid to express their opinions.

“I’m looking forward to seeing what we arecapable of,” Leah said. “We’ve done the process of building renovations many, many times, but this is on a whole new level.”

Experience

One of the more experienced couples on The Block, this pair have a long history of renovating.

They bought a dilapidated Queenslander recently that they are living in and renovating. Ash had a background in sales before starting his own building company with Leah.

It’s been a chaotic few years, but doing The Block seems like the natural thing to do.

“We have just started a new business, we have three kids and we are halfway through this mammoth renovation, so why not do The Block?” Ash said.

Leah, 31, first aid trainer

Leah has a passion for building and design, and can see herself having a real future in that field. Her style of design on The Block will be bold and different and will turn heads. Her aim is to build a house with a modern art/deco feel.

Leah has a very generous nature, but she’s not afraid to express her opinions. She is described by her husband Ash as a “go getter”.

Ash, 38, builder

Ash had a career in sales before following his dream to start his own building company.

He loves his children and is a fantastic family man. He could be described as your typical, laconic Queenslander.

“I’m a real bloke’s bloke,” he said. “I feel like I get along with everyone.”

Ash will save money on The Block by using his skills as a builder/carpenter.

Together

The couple met on Tinder in 2015. “I came out of my marriage and Ash came out of his engagement, and we instantly connected,” Leah said.

Ash will take the reins of the build and demolition on site, and Leah will focus on the styling, shopping and budget.

They are set to be major characters on The Block who will stick by each other no matter what.

Leah and Ash have three children, Austin, 8, Marnie, 4, and Hugh, 2, and want to get out of their comfort zone on The Block.
