Female Force behind our Shops
Introducing the Female Force behind our French shop 💪
Interview with Finntack Grosbois 🇫🇷, shop manager Ilona.
Take a look behind the scenes and get to know her better 🥰
How did you first become interested in working at Finntack, and what do you find most fulfilling about your job?
I was interested in working at Finntack because I wanted more challenge in my work, and working with horse people and equipment would certainly be enjoyable! The best part is definitely getting nice feedback from customers and seeing them happy with the products 🥰
Can you tell us about you and your own horse history, and what do you enjoy most about the sport?
I'm a 30 year old Finnish woman living in France with my husband, daughter and Malinois dog, whom I train and compete with.
Harness racing is a great sport that stays with me no matter where I am in the world. Over the years, I've had the privilege of working for some of the top trainers, including Harri Koivunen in Finland, Trond Smedshammer in the USA, Philippe Allaire in France, and my most recent employer of 6 years, Björn Goop.
Which Finntack products are your own personal favourites?
My own absolute favourites from Finntack are the driving clothes and rugs! 👌
What is the most unique or memorable experience that you've had while working at Finntack?
Prix d'Amerique Expo! It was great to see and talk to the customers who came from all over the world.
How horses have impacted your life?
My passion for horses has not only taken me on adventures across the globe but has also given me the opportunity to meet amazing people I would have never crossed paths with otherwise.
