Meet Team "XS"

Adrian Hodge
Managing Director

Role & duties:
"I source new products, drive the company forward and make company wide decisions."

Best part of the job:
"Seeing the end result and finished product when the stock arrives is one of the best parts of my job. It's usually the accumulation of a lot of work from different members of the team. The work on a new range sometimes starts up to a year in advance, so its great to see the stock when it finally arrives."

Loves:
"Supporting my 8 year old son in his Sunday football league, family holidays and spicy food."

 

 

Mark Gregory

Role & duties:
"I manage the day to day running of the business. General logistics, liaising with team leaders and managing company contracts are just a few of the things I do to ensure we always provide a great service."

Best part of the job:
"I enjoy being part of a motivated team and resolving problems that are holding staff back from achieving their outcomes. I love seeing members of our team succeed and exceed their potential."

Loves:
"My wife and two fantastic kids. I also enjoy karate, badminton, watching movies, Formula 1, playing the keyboard and Jean Michel Jarre music."

Role & duties:
"My team and I are the first point of contact for customers. I'm responsible for all aspects of customer service as well as creating workflow for the warehouse. We pride ourselves in providing a friendly, honest service to all customers."

Best part of the job:
"Resolving customer queries and keeping the flow of orders moving through to the warehouse for picking and packing. Every day is different and challenges me in new ways. I also love working with everyone at XS. It's a cliche but we are like a family. I can't imagine spending my working day with a nicer bunch of people."

Loves:
