The parent company has grown explosively in recent years and the company wants to take the next step with the impact of these entrepreneurs.

‘There is a very enthusiastic and energetic team that has had a major setback with the corona crisis. I am happy that I can offer added value to help the company grow further.’
Beins’ expertise in IT, entrepreneurship and the travel industry is complemented by Drechsel’s many years of experience.

‘Now is the perfect time to get everything right so that we can go extra fast later on.’
