It's that time again when we share some more of the story behind our people and our business. This week we hear from Gordon Brown why he wanted to create XCD partners. We think doing this video series has set him off on a new career path, he's now a man in demand for round tables and podcasts!! If you want to know more about Gordon Brown's story or have an event that might be interesting get in touch. More to come from Amy Foster William Parker Andy Roberts and Matt Ward in the coming weeks.

Thanks for sharing Andy Roberts really looking forward to this

Here at XCD Partners we always strive to exceed expectations, that's why it's in our name. There's so much required to be the very best at what you do. Taking inspiration from others, constantly learning as well as never losing sight of the outcomes you drive are just part of the formula. Discipline, resilience, facing fears and problem solving are others. We recently posted about why we made Yorkshire home Calling the region home is one thing, but, actions speak louder than words. Making a positive contribution, inspiring and elevating others, creating value now and in the future are part of making ourselves an asset the region can be proud of. 🥊 Today Matt Ward spent some time with Jack Sunderland at The Training Cave. Jack and the whole team epitomise so many of the values we espouse and it was great to talk about how we can make an impact together. Some great memorabilia and the almost obligatory canine pic below. We were particularly taken by the quote from Paul Wild aka "Dazzler" "The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is extra, those who do extra will always do better in the long run" William Parker Amy Foster Gordon Brown Gordon Bateman Kane Fulton Mel Selvon Ellyard Martyn Long FRSA Richelle Schuster FRSA Megan Lipp Rachel Mcelroy MCIM George Stuffins John Burgess John Rastrick
