Young Man with Down Syndrome holding a pair of Stand Out Socks

We’re beyond excited to introduce Joe, our new recruit!

Now, let’s address the elephant in the room straight away… Joe is a die-hard Liverpool fan. Yes, you read that right—Joe supports the wrong football team! This revelation is sure to spark some lively debates around the unit. We’re ready for the banter! 😂

Joe’s passion for photography, bowling, and traveling will inject fresh creativity and energy into our sock-making process. At Stand Out Socks, we’re all about creating socks that stand out, and Joe’s unique perspective will help us bring even more originality to our designs.

But what makes this moment truly special is that Joe becomes the 5th member of our team with Down syndrome. This is a proud milestone for us, reinforcing our mission to show that Down syndrome doesn’t define limits. We believe that everyone, regardless of ability, has something valuable to offer—whether it's picking, packing, or contributing creative ideas to our vibrant sock collections.

At Stand Out Socks, inclusion is woven into the very fabric of what we do. We’re not just creating socks, we’re creating opportunities, and Joe is proof that there’s a seat at the business table for everyone, especially those with Down syndrome.

So, welcome to the Stand Out Socks family, Joe! We’re excited to see how your energy, enthusiasm, and love for travel and photography will help us create socks that are bold, unique, and, most importantly, inclusive.
