Jul

Jul has been part of the team since April 1, 2023 and, as a Labrador–Australian Shepherd mix, brings the perfect combination of intelligence, calmness and joie de vivre. Born on December 24, 2020, he not only bears the name Jul—which means “Christmas” in the Scandinavian languages Norwegian, Danish and Swedish (also related to the Icelandic and Faroese Jól)—but embodies the corresponding calm, warmth and harmony all year round.

His core strengths include fostering team harmony and leading by example with a healthy work-life balance. With his peaceful manner in dealing with all living beings and his calm presence, he creates a positive working environment and contributes to a balanced team dynamic. A particular focus of his work is enjoyment—Jul has outstanding culinary expertise and is known for appreciating anything edible with dedication.
In addition, his composed presence ensures calm and stability in the team’s day-to-day life. His natural authority makes him a central point of reference in the office.
Before joining Velaw AG, Jul completed an intensive “training programme” in the disciplines of playing, sleeping and making friends.
