Have a lovely summer!

We have closed our office in July, to enjoy the Norwegian summer of refreshing swims, mountain walks and generous portions of ice cream. But still, from 19–21 July our Football crew will take a break from their holidays to join Colours International Dance Festival in Stuttgart. Enjoy your summer!
