Meet the Team: Emelie

Who are you? Tell us a little about yourself

I’m Emelie, and I work as a New Business Development Manager at label.co.uk. I love having a dynamic job that allows me to switch from working with spreadsheets to getting creative with design programmes. I also enjoy making plans and seeing them through step by step.

What’s your professional background?

I completed a vocational training programme in retail management and then worked for a few years in a signage company in the printing field. There, I gained experience in direct and foil printing, created print files, and also helped with assembly. At the same time, I completed my business management studies at a technical college.

How did your path lead you to label.co.uk?

After completing my studies, I wanted to try something new and came across a job posting from label.co.uk online. My first impression was immediately very positive, so I decided to apply.

What is your role at label.co.uk and what does your typical day look like?

As a New Business Development manager, I help build new markets and online shops. My day-to-day work is quite dynamic, as I manage multiple projects at the same time and constantly take on new challenges. Mainly, I coordinate different departments and external partners to ensure that a new shop is successfully launched.

What makes your job special?

For me, it’s definitely the variety. I often get tasks that are completely new to me and I have to figure things out from scratch, which is really exciting. And when everything works out in the end, just as you envisioned, it’s an amazing feeling.

…and label.co.uk special as an employer?

What I really value here is the freedom and trust I’m given. It’s not a typical 9-to-5 job, it’s one I truly enjoy going to.

What has been your highlight at label.co.uk so far?

It’s hard to say, probably the Christmas or the Summer party!
