With a high pace both at and outside work, Julia Holm is happiest when her days are full of activity, responsibility and collaboration. When she is not keeping track of order flows and purchasing at EWES, you will often find her on the football pitch, involved in club life or on her way to the next match. In her role as Purchasing and Logistics Coordinator, she is an important part of the daily machinery, where structure, a service mindset and flexibility go hand in hand.
Julia lives in Bredaryd and has quickly become a natural part of the EWES team. We had a chat with her to get to know her a little better.
What is your role at EWES?
My job title is Purchase and Logistic Coordinator, but the role is quite broad. Right now I work a lot with orders, while also working with purchasing in the form of operational work and purchase requisitions. I'm also involved in other tasks, such as setting up items and similar administrative work.
Why did you apply for the job?
This particular position wasn't actually advertised – my football teammate Alma Cederquist tipped me off to apply. She knew EWES was looking for both salespeople and possibly something more. After I met EWES, this position was presented to me, and I jumped at it!
What did you do before you started working at EWES?
Before EWES, I worked in technical customer support at a market-leading industrial company in the area (ESBE). There my days consisted of technical support by both phone and email, but also work with customer orders, complaints and returns. Quite simply, everything that goes with customer service.
How have you been received?
I've been received very well. I recognised several people who work here from before, both because we live in the same village and through football. Many of us at EWES play football or are involved in club life in different ways, and that makes the sense of community come naturally.
How old are you and where do you live?
I'm 27 and will turn 28 in 2026, but I usually say 25+ haha. I live in Bredaryd.
What do you enjoy doing when you are not working?
I like it when there's a lot going on. In my free time I play football and am involved in the club. I also like doing things with my friends, going for a walk or going to watch football or hockey.
What do you find hard to resist?
A glass of Prosecco with the girls – and chewing gum. I always have gum in my mouth and my consumption of Stimorol Original is very high. My friends think I should be sponsored, and I suppose that says something 😎.
If you didn't need to work for money – what would you do with your life?
I would travel a lot, try new things and go around watching all kinds of sport.
When did you last laugh out loud?
I laugh often, especially when I'm spending time with friends and family.
