If you think age is a barrier, you don't know Thorkil!
Last week we celebrated the 1st anniversary of Thorkil Johansen, who started with us at BIWise A/S last year – on his first day as a pensioner, of course.
Ever since, Thorkil has contributed with his experience and a professionalism that surpasses most. At the same time, he is a really good colleague who gives a lot to the culture.
