A huge congratulation to our apprentices who finished our apprentice programme with flying colours! 🥂🎉🎈 Friends, family and colleagues were invited to an evening of celebration which included speeches, a three-course dinner and lots of smiles. Our CEO, Anders Holch Povlsen, also attended and presented each of the apprentices with their diploma. Luckily, the majority of the graduating apprentices will continue their careers at BESTSELLER.

Recently, our jackandjones colleagues from Glattbrugg, Switzerland, had a Kick Off Meeting inviting all Store Managers. On the programme? 1. Motivation in terms of increased team spirit. 2. Information in terms of strategy planning. When the work is done, playtime begins! This time, our colleagues challenged each other in a round of Laser Game. The goal? “Having fun with our teams and promote the team spirit. For us, it is very important that we are all ‘on board’ and we are a team. We came back home very excited and motivated,” says Retail/Region Merchandiser, Patricia.

BESTSELLER partners with local schools for a well-being project that focuses on making children and young people flourish and grow into strong and enabled young adults. The three-year project is a result of a private-public partnership. The key to the project is exercise, as a healthy, active body creates a healthy, active mind. About the collaboration, BESTSELLER Communication Manager Jesper Stubkier says: “Children and teens are key to a well-functioning future society, and by incorporating healthy habits and exercise directly into the daily teaching situations, we can help build a culture that forms happy and whole young individuals”.

Our colleagues from the Istanbul office have enjoyed a beautiful getaway to the historical region Cappadocia.

Doesn’t seem like a bad place to hang out with your favourite colleagues, right?
