Meet Kris, the Managing Director and founder of Elite GSS Ltd which was established in April 2014.
Kris has an exciting, energetic and ambitious personality creating a wonderful working environment, this also enables some fantastic opportunities for everyone within the business. Over and above the day to day running of the business, Kris oversees all product development and the strategic direction and growth of the business.
Kris is a friendly and determined manager, who couldn’t like him? In his free time, he loves looking after his son, playing a bit of footy with the lads and of course having a beer or two.
From our partner company, MultiMatts, Ollie assists the team with additional Sales calls and enquiries that come our way and heads the overall Sales department after MD Kris Heard
In 2023, he got the job title of ‘UK & International Sales Manager’ to control the increased interest in our products outside of the UK.
Golf has become his new hobby, taking prime interest ahead of football, and he’ll often be seen at the driving range after work, in lunchtime, and at the weekend in preparation for his round at a choice of local golf courses.
Our most recent Sales team member in September 2022, Aidan is a dedicated member that you’ll get to speak to during the sales process.
Outside of work, he will mostly be playing and watching football, especially when Tottenham Hotspur are involved, usually ‘burning’ the wages on them or shoes. He hits the gym most days and a typical Friday wind-down will be with friends over a pint at the pub, watching or playing pub sports, where he’s known to be very competitive at pool, and often ends the night at a club.
Another member of the sales team who you’ll speak to during the sales process.
When she’s not at work, Photography is her passion which she tries to do as often as possible and also enjoys baking with the family.
Occasionally at the weekend, when she gets some time to herself, she likes to put her feet up with a large glass of gin or a cocktail!
Rhiannon is our newest Hire Controller and addition to the Elite family. She ensures smooth operations and excellent customer service. She manages product logistics and coordinates with clients to provide tailored solutions, using her organisational skills and effective communication to navigate scheduling complexities and foster strong relationships.
Rhiannon is a lover of all things cosy and creative—whether she’s adding to her growing book collection or crocheting charming little creatures to brighten up her space. Weekends find her in the kitchen, baking up a storm of biscuits and cakes, or out at car meets, admiring engines and planning the next big road trip.
An avid Formula 1 fan with a soft spot for Red Bull and Ferrari, she’ll happily chat about race day drama with anyone who’ll listen. Being a spirited traveller, Rhiannon craves new horizons and fresh flavours, embracing every opportunity to discover the world’s culinary delights and hidden gems!

A die-hard Formula 1 fan, Lucie passionately cheers on Max Verstappen and the Red Bull team.

Mark Rogers
Mark enjoys playing golf and his last known handicap was 2, now that he isn’t a club member and competes for fun. He achieved England school boy status and was also a nifty left footed winger at football where he got to county level.
The route of being a graphic designer became his career choice that progressed him through only a few companies for lengthy periods, leading him to the position he holds now at Elite GSS.
His spare time is spent with his wife and family of 3 children.
