"Palm Reach has been good to us and the name has worked fine on the Swedish market, but now as we start the global marketing of our WAP based mobile Internet service room33.com, there is simply too much "Palm" in the old name. To avoid confusion and to make it easier for us to focus on a single brand, we are therefore changing the name of the company to room33", says Zaheed Haque, CEO, room33 AB.

room33 has an office in New York and is in the process of opening one in London. During this year, six more offices will also be established in Europe and Asia.

"Such an expansion demands a high level of recruitment. In order to find the right people, we work with Swedish recruitment firms Alumni and Academic Search", concludes Zaheed Haque.
