Since February 1st, 2024, Ellinor has been working in production planning with us.
She finds MP bolagen to be a really nice and familial company that truly cares about its employees.
In her free time, she exercises and spends time with family and friends.
Ellinor thinks the easiest way to get started with training is to just lace up her shoes and head out. A warm spring or summer day is absolutely wonderful.
Her favorite destination is always a warm country, but she also finds a road trip to the mountains really cozy.
She usually only listens to music when she exercises, so it has to be an uplifting song. If she had to choose a favorite, it would be "Can't Stop the Feeling" by Justin Timberlake.
