Orkla Brands Nordic + Solna Business Park

Summer summer summer, lovely summertime! Right now I am on vacation and have completed one out of three weeks of no job during this summer. I am really enjoying the days and relaxing but I am also looking forward coming back to work later on.

Before I checked out for summer I had completed seven weeks at my new job at Göteborgs Kex and I really enjoy it! I am working in a great team and the tasks are new, many and fun. The organisation Göteborgs Kex differs pretty much from Nidar (where I worked before) as it is much smaller and the position brand manager is completely different from being a trade marketing manager. Even if I often feel frustrated not knowing all the tasks yet, it is at the same time very stimulating to learn so many new things every day. I have a steep learning-curve and I look forward to the day when I can work independently.

One of the reasons to look forward coming back from holiday is to see how our offices are. In Sweden, the main body of the Orkla Brands Nordic companies are gathering up in Solna Business Park (just outside Stockholm) and our offices are right now being finished. The companies are Göteborgs Kex, OLW, Pierre Robert and Axellus and since 1th of June they are located at Svetsarvägen 15, Solna. The address is in Solna Business Park where many other FMCG-companies are situated. When everything is completed we will be around 100 people from Orkla Brands Nordic companies working at the same floor. It will be so much fun and we can more easy get help from each other. I tell you more when I get back in August.

Happy summer!
