We held this year’s summer party for Dwarf, WEAREHEAVY, and Benny Box on Friday, June 12. And, as tradition dictates, a summer party always means a party bus! This year’s destination was Halvandet on Refshaleøen, where the team competitions really got underway. Competitions may be something we take a little too seriously. But once the music starts playing and team spirit takes over, there’s no turning back.

Ole celebrated both his 25-year anniversary and his 70th birthday at Dwarf with bubbly, cake, and drinks.
