Brand Sweden is Dead, Long Live Brand Sweden
This guest column by Nick Baines rethinks what Brand Sweden means today, arguing that tired tropes no longer cut through and that it's time for Swedish organisations to show — not tell — how their values truly set them apart on the global stage.
A Swedish beauty legacy in the UK
For over five decades, SCC UK Member Oriflame has brought Swedish beauty innovation to the UK, earning its place as a trusted name in skincare and cosmetics. In celebration of their 55th UK anniversary, we spoke with Sofia Radomska, Managing Director of Oriflame Cosmetics UK & Ireland, about the company’s journey, its Swedish roots, and the vision that continues to drive its success in the market.
Why smart workplace design is the ultimate productivity hack
In modern office spaces, where creativity meets efficiency, design plays a crucial role. For SCC UK Patron Kinnarps, this principle has guided their journey from the very beginning. Founded by Evy and Jarl Andersson in the Swedish village of Kinnarp in 1942, the company has grown from a carpenter’s shop to a global powerhouse in 40 countries. Yet, their passion of improving workspaces remains the same as then, guided by Founder Jarl’s belief that ‘anything, however good, can always be improved a little.’
The steelmaking revolution you need to know about
As the world continues its fight against climate change, some industries are finding themselves at the front line of the battle. The steel industry, which accounts for 7-9% of global CO2 emissions, is one of them. For SSAB — global leader in advanced high-strength steel and SCC UK Patron — tackling this challenge is central to their strategy. With a uniquely Swedish approach that blends innovation and a collaborative mindset, SSAB is working to transform steelmaking whilst creating a more sustainable future for generations to come.
Volvo CE - laying the groundwork for sustainable urban construction
In a pioneering effort to reduce emissions and transform the construction industry, SCC UK Patron Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) is spearheading a collaboration in London.

By teaming up with key partners – including London-based startup Charge Fairy, Transport for London (TfL), and FM Conway – Volvo CE is playing a central role in addressing the barriers to electric construction machinery.
The digital healthcare revolution — where technology meets life and death
Ethics, morals, life, and death – the biggest stakes of all. Healthcare is the sexiest industry there is. At least if you ask Kalle Conneryd Lundgren, Global CEO of SCC UK Member Kry – who is leading in combining medical expertise with the latest technology. We caught up with him at Kry’s UK offices to talk about the future of healthcare, patient care, and what his younger self would think of the dynamic career he’s built.
