Georgie Askin

As we come to the end of our first term at XPE, I want to take a moment to appreciate every member of our crew. Your hard work, your willingness to get smarter every day, and your kindness toward one another have not gone unnoticed.

We have truly come together as a crew, and that sense of unity has made my time as a crew leader phenomenal. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished and the culture we’ve built together.

Here are a few photos from our Christmas morning today — a small snapshot of the memories, laughs, and teamwork that made this experience so special. Thank you all for an unforgettable memories so far.

Merry Christmas from Mrs Stephens

What a busy and brilliant week it’s been for Crew White — they have truly sparkled and shined! Between POL, our Santa Dash, Christmas Jumper Day, and enjoying Christmas dinner together, the festive spirit has been everywhere.

A huge highlight was hosting our annual bake sale for The Eve Merton Trust. Thanks to everyone who purchased hot chocolate and our home-baked festive treats, we raised an incredible £178! Your generosity and support are greatly appreciated.

Wishing all our Crew White families a wonderful and restful two-week break. Enjoy the festivities, relax, and we can’t wait to see you in the new year!
