Hyperion has also announced that Heiner Eickhoff, executive chairman of DUAL in Germany will move to a new role as European development director. Eickhoff will support the executive team in developing their European growth strategy.
David Howden, CEO of Howden and Hyperion, said: “I am delighted that Marcel is joining Howden as he brings with him proven experience in delivering transformational change in organisations.
"Germany remains a key market for us and Marcel’s leadership skills, extensive broking experience and local market knowledge mean he is the ideal person to drive forward our exciting growth plans.”
Richard Clapham, CUO, DUAL International and CEO, DUAL Europe, added: “I am delighted to welcome Annett back to DUAL. She brings with her a deep knowledge of the German market and proven experience in DUAL. Working with the local management team, Annett will continue to drive forward our ambitious growth plans.”
