What Would Remion Be Without a Little Adventure?

At Remion, we love creating opportunities to spend time together — and to try something new and exciting every time. This autumn, our team swapped laptops for helmets and hiking shoes as the #RemionCrew headed to Sappee for a day full of outdoor fun, fresh air, and laughter.

From the Office to the Hills of Sappee

Our journey began at the office, where the our crew gathered and made their way to Tampere Keskustori to hop on a bus headed to Sappee — leaving the city behind and heading straight into the heart of nature. Surrounded by forest trails, cozy cabins, and fresh autumn air, we knew a great day awaited us.

After getting settled into our cabins, it was time to gear up for the afternoon’s adventures.

The afternoon activities kicked off at rental station, where everyone could pick their favorite activity. Some jumped on electric fatbikes and sped off on scenic forest routes, while others tested their skills at the adventure park or the frisbee golf course. For those seeking a calmer pace, nature trails around Sappee offered the perfect way to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and the golden autumn colors.

No matter the activity, the day was full of good vibes, laughter, and just the right amount of friendly rivalry.

Dinner, Sauna, and Good Company

After a few hours outdoors, #Remioncrew gathered at Ekokammi log cabin for a delicious dinner. The evening continued back at the cabins, where saunas were heated and conversations flowed.

Recharged and Reconnected

As the bus rolled back to Tampere late in the evening, it was clear that the day had achieved its purpose — to recharge, reconnect, and remind us that teamwork isn’t built only in meetings, but also in moments like these.

Shared experiences like this are at the heart of Remion’s culture. They strengthen our bond, inspire new ideas, and remind us that great things happen when we step away from our desks together.

What Would Remion Be Without Regatta?

The #RemionCrew headed out to sea just off the coast of Helsinki to take part in a friendly Regatta between three sailboats!
At Remion, we like to organize enjoyable activities together, always aiming to try something new and exciting. This time, our shared adventure was a sailing trip in the Helsinki archipelago.

Friendly Competition Guided by Professional Skippers

At the harbor, we went through the route and sailing instructions with guidance from the professional skippers of Nemo Sailing. After the briefing, we moved on to the boats to plan our tactics and practice race maneuvers.

The crews sailed the following vessels:

• s/y Zorro, Swan 41, skipper Henri
• s/y Alice, Bavaria 49, skipper Jari
• s/y Stella, Finngulf 37, skipper Teemu
  
  

We divided the teams so that sailing experience was evenly distributed across the boats. The race itself was held as a pursuit start, with the winner being the first boat to cross the finish line. The finish was set near Vallisaari, where we also concluded the sailing trip.

Stunning Views of Vallisaari Completed the Day

On Vallisaari, the spring outing continued with good food, sauna sessions, and enjoying the island’s beautiful scenery.
Shared moments and experiences are at the heart of what we do at Remion. It’s important that the team has time to relax and enjoy each other’s company outside of work as well. The sailing trip offered the perfect opportunity for this, and the breathtaking views of Vallisaari truly completed the day.
Events like this don’t just create great memories — they also strengthen team spirit. We’re already looking forward to the next adventure.

Remion’s five-person team packed their laptops and shorts and headed to Fuengirola, Spain, for a two-week remote work trip.

“Our timing couldn’t have been better. In Fuengirola, daytime temperatures climbed well above 20°C, while back in Finland we were hit by a surprise return of winter,” says Petri Tuominen, Project Manager at Remion, who joined the trip.

Working remotely abroad is nothing new for the company. Remion’s first trip combining work and shared leisure time took place in Marbella in 2020, just before the global COVID-19 pandemic changed the world.

An Office on the Costa del Sol

Finding suitable workspaces for a short remote-work period required some quick problem-solving.

“One challenge was finding office space on short notice. We chose a local office through FuengirolaOffices.com, located in the Centro Finlandia building. The office had a reliable internet connection and sufficient work facilities,” Tuominen explains.

The change of scenery also enabled the team to spend meaningful time together outside work. The two weeks were filled with a wide range of activities: beach time and sunshine, hiking Antennivuori, playing frisbee golf on the mountainside, sauna sessions, go-karting, a day trip to Gibraltar, tapas, a gaming museum visit, and of course exploring the Finnish communities in Fuengirola.

“Our schedule was packed but enjoyable. Not a single boring moment,” Tuominen says.

Deeper Interaction with Colleagues

The Remion team’s experiences of remote work in Fuengirola were positive on many levels. Opportunities to get to know colleagues better feel especially valuable in today’s post-pandemic working life, where in-person office interactions have significantly decreased.

“During the trip, we interacted with each other in new ways, and everyday working life took on a different rhythm during those two weeks.”

From a productivity standpoint, the trip was also a success. Participants felt that the remote office environment had a positive impact on their work efficiency.

Remote Work in Spain Was a Success

Overall, participants gave the trip a perfect score of 5/5. Feedback collected after the trip suggests that Remion’s remote work travel may very well continue in the future.

According to participants, the best parts were: “Warmth, light, spending time with great colleagues, a change of scenery, and experiencing new things.”

According to Petri Tuominen, Remion’s two-week remote work trip to Fuengirola was a clear success.

“The trip gave us the opportunity to work in amazing surroundings, but it also strengthened our team cohesion and gave us new perspectives and ideas.”
