 | Who are we?
Runing a business should be fun - Xotiq is our attempt to bring some of this rare quality back into our lives - Why?After many years of working in increasingly dull market sectors, a chance meeting with an old friend who had recently sold his Hotel in Warwick meant that there was an opportunity to get into a more personally satisfying business. Many hours of dreaming and wondering eventually lead to us deciding to stop talking and start doing so Xotiq was born!Being constantly underwhelmed by the quality of supermarket take home curries, we decided to try and provide an alterntive - after all if we liked Vietnamese food surely others would too?Sometimes in business you just have to trust your instincts which is what we've done - we hope you enjoy it. |

Simon Lister
After years of running the catering at the the NEC, Simon decided it was time to have a go at running his own show. He purchased a 50 room hotel in Birmingham and subsequently a smaller one in Warwick before realising that 2 * Hotels = No family life and so sold up and changed careers once again.Simon is an experienced Chef with an impressive dislike of low grade, tasteless "industrial" food. |
Richard Cockayne
With over 25 years experience of running a variety of businesses, Richard has created several business from scratch and understands that a business needs more than just great products to suceed. His current business has been trading since 1987 and is now an interenet retailer of lighting and air conditioning products. Richard shares Simon's passion for food but tragically not his culinary skills so I guess he will just have to make do with the QC role! |
