From his essential roles in production planning and purchasing to anchoring after-sales and customer service, he has handled claims, demos, and countless other tasks. From those first steps in the company, Morten has been everywhere – always contributing, always leaving his mark. 💪   Fast forward to today, where Morten stands alongside Hovmand’s founders, Hans and Bibi Hovmand, and CEO Søren Hovmand to say goodbye to the company.  During the heartfelt send-off, Hans and Bibi captured Morten’s legacy perfectly: “Morten is someone you can 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 rely on. And he’s everywhere!”  Bibi also smiled, recalling: “I can still hear the sound of your energetic steps echoing in the hallways.”👟   Colleagues shared video messages celebrating Morten’s defining qualities, recognising Hans and Bibi's words: Morten is always helpful, always cheerful, and a living Hovmand encyclopaedia 📖    With so many roles, countless contributions, and memories across the company, it’s truly the end of an era. We wish Morten all the best as he begins this next chapter.  Thank you, Morten! ✨🙏

One of the great things about being part of a family-owned business? The personal touches that make every day special! Today, our CEO Søren Hovmand marked his birthday by baking cookies for the team, using his mother’s secret recipe – known in the family as “Love Cookies.” 🍪❤️   The story goes that the first time Søren’s mother baked them, a marriage proposal was announced at a family gathering! Some traditions really are sweet. And today’s batch was no exception – though we’re starting to think Søren might have a hidden career as a baker in his future. 😉   A big happy birthday from all of us to Søren! 🎂👨🍳

When the youngest runs like the wind, and the oldest sets the pace.🏃♂️💨    Yesterday, at the famous Danish DHL Relay in Copenhagen, our two youngest runners breezed through the finish line in just 18 and 21 minutes – like it was nothing. But that’s not all... our third fastest? One of our amazing 61-year-old colleagues, who also completed his very first Ironman a week and a half ago! 🏊♂️🚴♂️🏃♂️    At Hovmand, age is just a number, and ambition isn’t just a company value – it’s part of who we are.    Whether running a relay or innovating lifting solutions, it’s about challenging ourselves. And the best part? The unbeatable team spirit and shared determination that kept us going. We can’t wait to lace up our running shoes again next year.💪    #TeamHovmand #DHLRelay #AmbitionKnowsNoAge #LiftingEveryDay #IronmanInspiration (Oliver Lars Søren Cecilie Joost Camilla Nicklas Niklas Regitze Tea Ioannis Alejandro Tina Maria Emilie Thomas Søren Martin)
