Meet the team


Xenia Ball

The first person you'll meet at SES!

Xenia, is a true Devonian, going to school and living in Totnes, now working in Newton Abbot. When she left school she realised the importance of excellent customer service, and decided to get a qualification in customer service and administration.

Xenia originally came to us as a temp, and received so much complimentary feedback from clients whilst working here, that we invited her to join SES, full time, as Front of House Administrator.  Xenia has, of course, brought a calm, efficient charm to a hectic job... and the complimentary feedback from clients and candidates continues.

Xenia enjoys spending time with her husband, Kristian. To relax they walk their gorgeous chocolate Labrador, Dylan, in the local woods – but, being a wimp, Dylan will only paddle in the river!
