This is your chance to get to know a little about the people behind Xupes. We like to break the barrier of the wall that is often the Internet and make things a little less faceless…
Alfie
Alfie, our CEO, makes sure the office mood remains high. He likes to be the center of attention making sure we keep well nourished and focused. Alfie’s interests are the park, Squirrels, Ben’s lap, any toy he can find, & chews. His motivational games of “throw my ball” will perhaps end in disaster one day…
Joseph McKenzie
Joe's, Joint Director of Xupes, passion for watches has grown from an early age making him essential in the operation of the watches & jewellery side of the company. He is involved in every aspect of the business from creative photography to packing the occasional watch and making sure everyone is on task. He is the go to man on any question related to all things horological. His hefty commute of nearly 5 minutes to the office sees him struggling to stay away and he can sometimes still be spotted at his desk even in the early hours of the morning. He directly assists Ben in managing his confectionaries drawer and makes sure Alfie remains inspired with early morning walks in the park.
Frank McKenzie
Frank, joint Director of Xupes, manages the Antiques and Art side of the business. His passion for his areas is what some might call an obsession but this is what grows his knowledge in his fields every day. With 30 years experience, and success running numerous companies ranging from toys to skiing, he is a great asset to Xupes, and a vital backbone to the business. Known for turning up to the office in jogging bottoms, we try to keep him locked upstairs in his office.
Ben Revell
Our Social & Multimedia Assistant, Ben makes sure you know about Xupes. He is responsible for the company’s social media channels, competitions, & videos. He also assists in sales making sure our customers are always satisfied. A qualified filmographer Ben brings a fun energy none of us can rival – We do have to keep this under control at times! This could be to do with his desk drawer full of sweets… He keeps us well amused and makes great fudge.
Jennifer Hyatt
Our Photography & Sales Assistant, Jenny makes our products shine. She is responsible for all aspects of Photography from creative images for our magazine to the product images you see on Xupes. She also assists in sales making sure our customers are always satisfied. Dedication is Jenny’s middle name (she has a two & a half hour commute to and from work!). We can count on Jenny to bring a hint of glamour to the office. Known for her comment during her first week of work: “Who’s that Baldy at the door?”, only to mistake one of our directors on his way back from lunch.
Jennifer Tutton
Creative & Admin Coordinator, Jennifer, mother of two, makes sure our website, and sales platforms stay in tune. She is responsible for organizing all aspects of our website and office including photography, sales, descriptions through to when products arrive with our clients. We count on Jenny to keep everything running smoothly. Predominantly working on the Antiques & Fine-Art side of the business, she helps keep Frank’s obsession strictly under control! Jenny’s desk is Alfie’s 2nd favorite place in the office at lunchtime as he is always guaranteed half a sandwich.
