Zooma opens an office in Sigtuna

Zooma opens an office in Sigtuna

Zooma is opening an office in Sweden's oldest town — Sigtuna. To look inside this new chapter, I sat down with Tobias, HubSpot Solution Architect at Zooma, who will work from this new location.

A unique location

The new office is in a unique building called Betongfabriken at Wenngarn Slott, just outside Sigtuna. The castle, which dates back to the late Viking age, is steeped in history and has evolved from a mediaeval stronghold to a bustling modern hub for the community over the centuries.

Betongfabriken is a striking space that combines contemporary industrial design with the charm of its historic surroundings. It's a truly inspiring environment that perfectly blends the old and new.

Tobias, who has been working from home for the past three years, shared that while remote work has advantages, it can also be isolating—especially during Sweden's long, dark winters. 'I didn't want to spend another winter in isolation,' Tobias said. Having a vibrant workplace with people around felt like the right move for my productivity and mental well-being.

What's most exciting about the new office?

Tobias highlighted several aspects of the new space that he's looking forward to:

The gym

'Starting the day with some exercise is a great way to stay energised and focused.'

 

The social element

'It is exciting to have the opportunity to meet new people, network, and participate in events hosted at Wenngarn.'
 

A doggy-friendly atmosphere

Many people bring their dogs to the office, which means Tobias's dog, Rebbel, who you see in this picture, will have plenty of opportunities to make new friends. 'It's a win for both of us.' Tobias joked, referring to himself and Rebbel.

How the new office benefits Zooma's growth

Although Tobias is the first to settle into the new space, this office is part of Zooma's development.

This move represents a development step. We're looking to hire a direct colleague to collaborate with me here.

Plans for the first week

The first week was all about settling in and getting comfortable. Tobias now plans to:

  • Explore the walking paths around Wenngarn.
  • Learn how to master the coffee machine (a top priority!).
  • Meet others working in the building and establish his new routine.

If you're curious about joining the team or want to learn more about Zooma, now is the perfect time to get involved in this exciting new chapter.
