Mirek, Martin, Lumír and Jan
Who will we introduce to you today in our portrait series of people from SINGING ROCK? Two colleagues from R&D, a sales guy for Czechia and our marketing manager. Their jobs are complementary and intertwined. The ideal result of their joint efforts is a happy user who receives the right product that meets his or her needs. Outside of work, the boys are united by their love of climbing in all its various forms. Their work naturally connects with their hobbies and leisure time. They invent and sell equipment that they use themselves.Mirek Matějec
Míra is a climbing fanatic! Whether it's sandstone climbing, overhangs, ice climbing, mix climbing or drytooling, Míra just loves to climb! He thus fulfills one of the essential prerequisites for the developer position which he has occupied at SR for 11 years. For example, he has been involved in the development of our purple Rocket, the top sport climbing harness.
He is reliable and knows how to handle things with deliberation and stay on course. For example, if you should get a guide for a climbing trip who you can trust after a few minutes Míra is exactly that person.Martin Horák
Matis has been working at SR for so long that we don't even remember how. So probably since forever! He's our most experienced developer. One of the favourite products he's given life to is the Bandit ice axe. Well, and when he's not working, he's climbing.
Matis is a core climber who can do everything - bouldering, sandstone climbing, limestone climbing or shivering with cold during mountain ascents. He spends holidays in the rocks in a van with his family in the subculture of people gesturing by the fire with their hands above their heads (like the "tatrman" with whom we once started in our logo). SINGING ROCK grew up on such people and fortunately it still stands on them.Lumír Fajkoš
Lumír is our sales representative, he has been at SINGING ROCK for 14 years now. As a climber he enjoys our products and as a person our group. He offers and sells things that he uses himself in the rocks - not because he has to but because he wants to :)
He is said to have his head on straight: he can combine his hobbies (climbing, paragliding, skiing) with his work and family life and he can succeed everywhere. Customers and colleagues appreciate that about him...Jan Zámečník
I have been turning the marketing helm at SINGING ROCK for 12 years. Or rather, for the first few years I soaped the floor below deck and absorbed the great atmosphere of a truly climbing company and gradually I worked my way up to the position of marketing captain. Every year brings something new and special, so that's why I still enjoy it... My main hobby is my job and my job is my hobby, so I shouldn't complain at all... Well, although the work is getting more and more lately, at the expense of the hobby... :))What I enjoy the most is when we have a really great product that we support with nice marketing and we get great feedback. Recently it has been the Serac harness and long term, for example, the Penta climbing helmet.
Climbing was, is and hopefully will remain the hobby number one. I don't really care if I go to the boulders, sandstone or sport routes, the main thing is that I'm moving and keeping my difficulty level. I like it best in the mountains (multipitches, alpine climbs) but there's not much of this kind of climbing with the family. From time to time I add a bike ride and in winter I enjoy ski touring.
