The Kling Group started for real in March 2015 with five sales people and the first period of time was as exciting as it was tough. When we moved into our offices last spring it was with great joy and relief. Before the move, we had been conducting our business out of the Kling family’s garage. When we move into our new Headquarters we thought that we could not possibly do better. Our new premises was spacious, bright, fresh and had a comparatively good storage space, where we thought we would have plenty of room for a long time.
The selection process was quick when we chose the location for our headquarters. We really fell head over heels for the first venue we looked on properly. It was, however, on the other side of the house from where we sit now, with a big terrace, a n awesome view of the bay outside and above all it was twice as big as our present office space. We did not want to take this investment so close to the start of the company. Therefore, we chose a smaller office, with ample space given that we were completely new on the market.
This area has served us very well over the past nine months. We have housed all of our sales representatives during the conferences we have had so far without any problems. Now we really are getting to crowded with product stock and feel that we simply do not fit anymore. The construction of the dream venue has thus started!
The drawings are ready and approved. Workstations, meeting rooms, rest rooms, conference room, kitchen, social areas and of course the warehouse that is twice as large is all fitted on the blueprint in consultation with the architect. At this instance, the walls are being raised and we are seeing great progress every day. The warehouse is expected to be completed by the end of March, which is really in the nick of time. We already have a dozen pallets that do not fit in our own storage space!
We have recruited more sales personel and have a number of new employees who has had great startups at the Kling Group. We thank these new colleagues for their fine dedication and willingness to evolve. Of course, we also need to credit much of this success to our talented leaders!
Soon we also need to hire new people on the office side. Our Office Manager Niclas has got a lot more to do regarding shipping products now when we have orders from both Cordena, Sortina and Cordena Norway. However, we have thought ahead and will soon be ready with the integration of the economy system and the CRM system so that the situation will be more manageable. We are buildning an efficient and smart organization and automate as much as possible of the administration and procedures. People are needed despite of this, and it will be exciting to see who gets the honor to jump on the faster than light moving Kling train!
Overall, we are really looking forward to move into our new HQ. We will of course show more when we are closer to the actual move. Hold out until then!
