Let me tell you what has happened since my last post in\nFebruary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Doing E-Commerce in the UK<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Straight after my time in the E-Commerce team at GARDENA in Germany, I went to the UK for my second assignment, working for the Flymo sales team. Besides our core brands Husqvarna &amp; GARDENA, our Group also has strong additional brands as Flymo in its portfolio. Flymo, which is mainly active in the UK, has not only invented the first ever hover mower, it is also arguably UK\u2019s best-known lawn care brand!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During my stay there, I mainly worked on the set-up &amp; launch of a direct-to-consumer business for the UK market. I was involved in all relevant functions from Supply Chain &amp; Logistics to Sales, Marketing and even Customer Service, which was overall a great opportunity. Besides working on the project, I supported the marketing team in some promo and trade show events and even helped out as a photo model! If you live in the UK &amp; want to buy fantastic Flymo products just go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flymo.com.\">www.flymo.com<\/a> . <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a nutshell, I had a great time in the\nUK. I was part of a fantastic team and together we successfully launched a new\nConsumer Website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/traineebloggen\/2019\/12\/cbc4cae3-7fc3-4442-80c2-be5c52944a0f-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"8024\" class=\"wp-image-8024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/traineebloggen\/2019\/12\/cbc4cae3-7fc3-4442-80c2-be5c52944a0f-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/traineebloggen\/2019\/12\/cbc4cae3-7fc3-4442-80c2-be5c52944a0f-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/traineebloggen\/2019\/12\/cbc4cae3-7fc3-4442-80c2-be5c52944a0f.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br><br><em>Promo event at London Waterloo with<\/em>  GARDENA President P\u00e4r Astr\u00f6m<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/traineebloggen\/2019\/12\/01_03_01_hovervac250_Web_-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"8025\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/?attachment_id=8025\" class=\"wp-image-8025\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/traineebloggen\/2019\/12\/01_03_01_hovervac250_Web_-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/traineebloggen\/2019\/12\/01_03_01_hovervac250_Web_-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/traineebloggen\/2019\/12\/01_03_01_hovervac250_Web_-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption>Say &#8216;Cheese&#8217;<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Top Management Meeting in Stockholm<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This year in May I had, as one of us Global\nTrainees, the privilege to participate in this year\u2019s Top Management Meeting in\nStockholm, where the whole Group Management was gathering for some days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you\u2019ve read it right. Being as a Global Trainee on a Top Management Meeting. You can imagine, how inspiring that event was for me. I met all the Executives from the divisions, got to know our strategy for the upcoming years and even had fruitful conversations with our CEO. I am very grateful to have had that opportunity.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Testing Zero-Turns in the US <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>After my assignment abroad in the UK,\nall trainees gathered for a training week at our US offices in Charlotte, North\nCarolina. There we met the whole management team, got introduced to our US\noperations and visited also our factory in Orangeburg. We even made time for\ntesting thoroughly the Zero-Turn lawnmowers, which is one of the most popular\nlawncare products in the US. All in all it was very interesting to see how\ndifferent the US market is in some respects to the European.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/traineebloggen\/2019\/12\/IMG_0750.web_-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8026\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/traineebloggen\/2019\/12\/IMG_0750.web_-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/traineebloggen\/2019\/12\/IMG_0750.web_-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/traineebloggen\/2019\/12\/IMG_0750.web_-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Posing with a zero-turn lawnmower<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After the training I went back to Germany,\nstarting my third assignment in the Digital Marketing team of the GARDENA\ndivision.
