Here's the inside of our Volvo offices. That's Andreas's head you see in the corner, a lovely guy from Germany who is part of my team. My computer is the one to the left of him. The two girls in the foreground are both swedish (Anna and Jenny) - as is at least a quarter of the office. The next couple of photos show the Volvo building from the outside.
Bowing to the Volvo Flag
Here is the building front on - note the Volvo flags with the British one in between. We're very cosmopolitan in the office (over 10 different nationalities) but our top managment is very British indeed so it's a little bit conservative for my liking - ties are a must! But on Fridays we can wear casual clothes as long as they are smart. huh! No jeans. No slacks. It's easier to just wear a suit!!! This office is the head quarters for the entire european region believe it or not (an organisation of 9000 people who bring in over half of our turnover). There's only aout 50 of us here but with Stanstead Airport just 30 minutes away, most people spend their lives out on the road visiting dealers and country offices.
Our Volvo Lake
The office may not be the most beautiful building in the world but we have a very nice lake. The sliding doors you see on the closest wall is the caffetaria - and on hot days, we regularly eat our meals outside on the lawn. The lake attracts herons too so i even get to do some twitching now and then...
