The entire group will benefit from his expertise, above all in the development of office properties“, comments Thomas G. Winkler, CEO of the listed parent company, UBM Development AG. “With Bertold, a person of highest integrity – as well as one of my most important advisors – is now starting his well-deserved retirement”, adds Winkler in conclusion.

Together with the long-standing managing director Helmut Berghöfer, the Management Board of UBM Czech Republic now has three members.
