In a difficult environment for the general economy and for our sector, she has succeeded in further developing the company both at operating level and in the areas of digitalisation and sustainability. With strong commitment and innovative approaches, she has already achieved significant progress in her time in office so far that will serve as a basis for the company’s successful future,” comments Dr Andreas Mattner, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of HAMBORNER REIT AG.
