This week we have the pleasure of meeting Lena Bjorck, Co-Founder and Managing Director of caterers, Alexander & Bjorck. Lena takes us to the magical beaches of Ireland for her party and talks us through the highs and lows of her business life. *You can see a preview below or listen to the full podcast [here](https://blog.offtowork.co.uk/one-amazing-experience-with-lena-bjork#podcast_listening_options).*
Lena brings a whole career’s-worth of events expertise with her, having previously built a renowned catering business which she sold in 2015.
Her award-winning track record includes catering for the Swedish Royal Family for guests including Bill Clinton at the American Ambassador’s residence in London, the Paris Air Show and last but not least, a banquet attended by Her Majesty the Queen which was hosted by the Commonwealth Secretary-General at Marlborough House during the 2012 Diamond Jubilee. Lena is also an entrepreneurial speaker all around the UK and Europe.
