What made you choose to work at Skeppsholmsgruppen and how has your journey here been so far?
I am one of the founders of the Skeppsholm Group and I can say that it was the location that chose me. I was asked in 2016 to lease the Eric Ericson Hall and that’s how my journey began here in this beautiful place. The journey has been incredibly exciting and I am driven to see what is around the next corner. We have really grown quickly and have the privilege of working with really exciting clients but also private individuals who choose Skeppsholmen for important moments such as weddings, baptisms but also memorials. It is a broad customer portfolio and everything has its charm and we all feel great responsibility and gratitude for all assignments.
What do your days at work look like?
I have a broad role which suits me as I get to express my creativity. The fact that I am also solution-oriented comes in handy when working with what we do. I have a background in the restaurant and music industry, which gives me broad experience in events. In addition to operational tasks, my role also involves managing our team here at Skeppsholmen. Another important part is to work on developing our business and offer so that we always offer attractive and current meeting and event opportunities and in this way we also contribute to increased revenue and exposure for us and our partners.
Can you share some of the most memorable moments or events you have experienced during your time at Skeppsholmsgruppen?
Every event is memorable in its own way. That’s what we do – create memories for our customers. We put a lot of focus on ensuring that everyone leaves Skeppsholmen satisfied and with a strong desire to come back.
What qualities and skills do you consider most valuable to succeed in your role at Skeppsholmsgruppen?
I am a good judge of character and can read and understand early on what the customer wants to create. My long experience of organizing corporate events in my previous company for a wide variety of customers in different types of environments both in Sweden and abroad means that I know what works and I also have a wide supplier network which is valuable.
What does a typical working day look like for you? Are there any specific projects or responsibilities that you would like to highlight?
Many exciting meetings with both customers and partners. I work a lot with business development and lead our fantastic staff as well as develop and improve our premises and our offer to customers.
Skeppsholmsgruppen emphasizes the importance of creating memorable experiences for customers. Can you share a story where you and your team managed to exceed customer expectations?
I love fine-tuning the details so that our guests and customers have an experience that exceeds their expectations.
How do you see the future of the Skeppsholm Group?
I am so incredibly proud of our product. As the owner of the company, it is an exciting and sometimes sharp turn in our development journey. My beloved father, who was also self-employed, always said: “It always works out.” It is something I carry with me when I take the courage to take the next step. Me and my partner & co-founder Elin have really taken big steps in recent years.
The unique venues here on the island, each with a different character, give us a huge range, which is fantastic. I enjoy opening up our clients’ creative minds and showing them all the possibilities that exist here, either in a single venue or by allowing their guests to experience several venues in combination with each other. It is truly a pleasure to be able to offer this and to be able to organize all these wonderful events in one magical place – right in the heart of Stockholm.
Creating events, experiences and memories that last is truly my passion and my driving force. Seeing people enjoy, laugh and create memories that they will carry with them for a long time is what motivates me the most. Every event is an opportunity to create something unique and memorable, and I always strive to exceed expectations and leave a lasting impression on my clients and their guests.
Through creativity, diligence and a great deal of dedication, I work to create experiences that touch and inspire. Seeing the joy and satisfaction of those who participate is my greatest reward and the main reason why I keep pushing to create magical moments that will live in the memories long after the event has ended.
