Seven new faces have joined the Robe lighting team at the company's Valašské Mezirící HQ in the Czech Republic.

Graphic designer Václav Vilímek joins Robe's marketing team, led by Jiri Baros. He will be focused on all the company's graphic requirements, plus ongoing development of the look and style of Robe's branding and website.

His previous experience includes working for various companies in different sectors and also freelancing. Vilímek has also been active in the organization of local art and design events, exhibitions and festivals, including music festivals. Baros comments, "We are delighted to have Václav onboard. He's already a valued core member of our flexible and fast-moving marketing department, and will be instrumental in advancing Robe's future marketing and communication strategies."

Jaroslav Mickal (Jarda) will also be working alongside the marketing team as the webmaster and overseeing all technical aspects of the company's Internet portal.

Mickal studied IT and computer graphics in the faculty of information technology at VUT Brno (Brno University of Technology). He will also coordinate all of Robe's electronic communications, micro sites, including newsletters, E-blasts, and Internet campaigns.

Baros comments, "Jarda fits our team perfectly -- he is very hard working, dedicated to the job and has a great personality."

Daniela Šimcíkova joins the company as a sales assistant. She speaks excellent English and German. She graduated from the business and financial faculty at Brno University of Technology and also studied abroad during her time there. She is now coordinating the sales requirements for a selection of key international distributors.

Ondrej Hegar joins Robe's technical support team. He's recently graduated from the famous Škoda Auto University in Mladá Boleslav where he studied economics and management/corporate finance management in the global environment. He loves sports and brings lots of energy and vitality to Robe as well. His work and study experience is also international, and includes stints at Bentley Motors Ltd in the UK and at Škoda Auto a.s. in the Czech Republic.

Jan Brada also joins the technical support department. Brada's work background is with electro-technical production companies.

Tereza Halastova joins the sales team after graduating earlier this year from Brno University of Technology, faculty of business and management, and joins the Robe sales team based at Valašské Mezirící.

Halastova became familiar with Robe's sales department while studying, participating in a series of working practice seminars with Renata Stodulkova and the sales team. She enjoyed the experience so much, that her goal became one of joining the company after finishing her education. "I perceive Robe as a very successful company with a unique atmosphere," she comments.

Eva Jurenkova also joins the sales department, and also studied at Brno University of Technology's faculty of business and management, completing her master's degree in corporate finance and business this summer.

Says Jurenkova, "Working for Robe is a huge opportunity for me. I am very keen to learn about the professional lighting industry and the technology and concepts involved, as well as to improve my language skills and establish a good rapport with our international partners. Also, it's a great chance to work with some fabulous and very dynamic people."
