 On 1st. March Annelin Rød took over as General Manager of Sandnes Taxi. Twelve days later Norway went into lockdown and most of the company´s major contracts were put on hold.

In spite of a tough start, she has a positive outlook on the future, even though the time ahead may well prove challenging.  
- My original plan was to work as a taxi driver for a year, as a break from my managerial role working with youths, substance abuse and child welfare. That was back in 2005. I am still here, so that just goes to show that I love my job, says Rød, laughing loudly.
