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

"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."

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:
"Spending time with my kids, having fun at the beach in the sun and going to music events."
