Ashley's team got our business up and running much faster than expected, without her coaching, I know for a fact we wouldn't be as far as we are so quickly. I highly recommend Ashley and her associates for any business endeavor, you will be satisfied.

Duwel Dev is amazing! Their expertise in government contracting have made a huge difference for GLHS. The team is super helpful and professional, and they truly care about their clients' success. I recommend them 100%!

As the owner of a growing janitorial and commercial cleaning company making its first strides into the government contracting space, I cannot recommend Ashley’s services enough. Not only did she create an outstanding capability statement that perfectly showcased our strengths, but she also went above and beyond in identifying some gaps in our registration we might never have caught on our own. Ashley’s guidance extended far beyond simply delivering a document. The final product was of exceptional quality and well worth the investment. I am thrilled to now have Ashley and her awesome team as a trusted connection and resource as our business grows.

"My co-owner & I are experienced business & sales people, we wanted to get into government contracting, Ashley walked us through the details of how to start the first 3-6 months, the information was critical & still in use today, I recommend Ashley for companies with good products but limited knowledge on where to start, thank you Ashley!"

Hello! I am a 35 year veteran of the US Army reserve. In 2019, I decided to begin developing a small business as a service-disabled veteran owned business. The task was daunting but extremely enlightening and enriching to understand the complexity of VA and government contracting. I was able to obtain the SDVOSB certification in 2020. NOW WHAT? To describe the contracting process as daunting is way understated! It is absolutely overwhelming. I am really not sure anyone can do it alone. In fact, I know if it s near impossible. I began to search for help and the Universe had the answer waiting there for me. Duwel Development, and owner Ashley Duwel have done an outstanding job and educating me and my associates on the intricacies of government contracting. Ashley got all my businesses capabilities statements completed, registered with SAM and ALL THE OTHER AGENCIES as well. SAM is just the beginning. She not only keeps us up to date, we meet periodically to explore opportunities. I highly recommended Ashley Duwel and Duwel Development for any veteran interested in getting into government contracting her services have been invaluable! We would not be here without them.

"I’ve had the pleasure to work with Ashley. She is very knowledgeable and helpful with all my questions regarding government contracting. She is a great mentor, very understanding and always willing to help. Ashley is the absolute BEST!!"

"My name is Michael Iroanya and I am the Head of Strategic Partnerships at theta, llc. It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Ashley Duwel. I have had the pleasure of working with Ashley for going on two years and I could not think of a more knowledgeable and resourceful person who is passionate about seeing her clients succeed. Navigating the world of government contracting is no easy task, but with Ashley on your team, I am confident that the level of professionalism and expertise that she brings to the table will be a major asset to your organization. During our time together, Ashley has always been a reliable source of information and I could not sing her praises high enough. By all means,l free to contact me if you have any questions or would like me to further elaborate on Ashely’s talents and achievements."

"Ashley was very thorough, professional, and knowledgeable. I look forward to continuing to work with her for many years to come."

"Ashley Duwel provided a clear roadmap in my government contract journey. She assisted with market research, capability statement and business cards with QR code that links to capability statement. My experience has been phenomenal as Ashley is unselfish sharing other professional resources to take your business to the next level. I look forward to a long lasting professional relationship."

"I've never been disappointed each time I meet w/ Ashley. She definitely understands the struggles of small businesses (SBs) and is willing to do her part to alleviate the stresses SBs encounter daily. I can always count on Ashley to bring a different perspective when looking at different services to obtain. Wonderful insight!"

Working with Ashley and her team has been a total game-changer for me. Her business coaching and deep expertise in government contracting have opened up opportunities I didn’t even know were possible. What really stands out is how she breaks down complicated processes into simple, actionable steps. Before working with her, I was honestly worried about how long it would take me to figure everything out on my own. I now realize that Ashley is probably saving me years of slow and painful learning. She knows exactly what she’s talking about, and her guidance is so practical and grounded in real-world experience. Thanks to her support, I feel like I’m making real progress—leaps instead of baby steps. If you’re serious about growing your business or getting into government contracting, I can’t recommend Ashley and her team enough. They’ve been absolutely invaluable to me!

Ashley and co. have been invaluable to us. Our first call is always to Ashley. Recently Ashely has set our son’s armor company up and they just had their first order. An honest and experienced approach for sure!

Duwel Dev exceeded all expectations with their exceptional Monday.com customization and integration skills! From the initial consultation to the final implementation, their team demonstrated professionalism, technical expertise, and a clear understanding of our companies needs. They customized Monday.com to align perfectly with our workflows, making it intuitive, efficient, and tailored to our specific processes. I absolutely love the automations! Their integration skills were equally impressive, seamlessly connecting Monday.com with other tools we use, which has significantly enhanced our productivity and collaboration internally and with our customers. Communication throughout the project was top-notch. They were responsive, thorough, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure we were satisfied with the results. I highly recommend Ashley and her team to anyone looking to maximize the potential of Monday.com. Their expertise has truly transformed the way we manage projects and opportunities!
