Meet the Team
Alastair Broom
Managing Director
For 25 years Alastair was in the property industry, initially in a local company in the Thames Valley which in turn became part of Hamptons International. However in 1994 he left the Estate Agency World and set up StumpBusters which through Franchising, became a national company specialising in tree stump removals.
But always wanting to run his own business he saw the enormous potential in a “garage organisation” business and set up Aloomba Associates of which Garageflex is a division in 2005. As well as MD, Alastair is also a Design Consultant for the Eastern Counties and South West areas.
Though property is one of Alastair’s passions, he is also a keen sportsman with an avid interest in sports he has played – cricket, hockey and squash – as well as those he still plays – golf and real tennis. This photo was taken when we helped Sarah Beeney out on her TV programme, Double Your House for Half the Money.

Abigail Leonard
Design Consultant for London and the Home Counties
Abi started her career in Investment Banking Sales in 1996, working for both Merrill Lynch and Credit Suisse for a period of 15 years, focussing primarily on Foreign Exchange.
In 2006 Abi met Alastair in London when she arranged for her own garage to be fitted out. She and her husband loved the product so much that they took the Garage Organisation concept to South Africa in 2008.
Fast forward to 2017 and she returned to the UK where she is now delighted to be part of the Garageflex team. Having been both a customer and a supplier of this incredible system, she says with the greatest confidence “Oce you have had this system, you will never want to live without it.”
