What attracted you to Varner Supply and the role of Warehouse Manager?
I had no thoughts of changing jobs, so it was Based On People and Jon Spjuth who aroused my interest in this role. I am so grateful today that you, Jon, continued to believe in me 😊
What attracted me was the combination of three different things. The first was to lead the business, and this fantastic warehouse that is getting bigger and better. The second was my future boss and the conversations we had in the recruitment process; a fantastic person who chose me even though I really emphasized that I am a difficult jerk and that it is not always easy with me. The last was simply the whole business - a pure dream to work in one of Europe's most modern warehouses and one of the Nordic region's largest fashion groups with several different chains. What opportunities for personal development!

What experiences do you bring to your new role?
I have previously worked at companies with a lot of automation but never at the level that Varner Supply AB is. I think I possess lots of knowledge and experience that was needed to create the world's best distribution center. And the knowledge I don't have, others can supplement as long as the passion is there.
The most important experience I bring, regardless of automation or not, is the importance of understanding and motivating my employees. It is the people who create the heart and pulse in the company.

Do you have any observations and reflections after a few months in the role?
Varner is a great company. I have the world's best workplace with fantastic colleagues and employees. I feel pride every morning when I step through the door. Just walking around in production, hearing the tape roll, seeing boxes go on the track on the way out - meeting an employee with a smile on their face and getting a nice greeting - then I get warm all over my body. There are challenges, but challenges bring opportunities and it's fun here every day!
