In the beginning of October, Johan Sjödin, Country Director in JYSK Sweden and Finland, celebrated his 25 years anniversary. 

He was celebrated during the Country Director Meeting in Istanbul in October, where Mikael Nielsen, Executive Vice President Retail, thanked him for his efforts and a great cooperation through all the years at JYSK. 

"Johan has made a great retail career within JYSK, with various managerial steps and has for the past 18 years been responsible for JYSK Sweden, as Country Director and in a great way created great results, especially focusing on the customer perception of JYSK, as well as development and involvement of employees", says Mikael Nielsen about Johan's career in JYSK.

Johan was also celebrated "at home" earlier this month. On the day of his anniversary, he went on a tour, visiting four different JYSK grand openings in Finland and Sweden. 

When he returned to the Head Office in Sweden after the tour, he was greeted with a well-deserved breakfast, flowers, and the JYSK trophy. 

"I am proud to have been at least a small part of something as big as JYSK's development and also in the personal development and career of many employees", says Johan Sjödin, Country Director in Sweden and Finland.
