Michael Steinle CEO of BSH UK |
Uwe Hanneck, CEO of BSH UK, has retired after nearly 40 years heading up Neff and the BSH Group subsidiary, and has been succeeded by Michael Steinle.
In 1972, Hanneck was tasked with establishing a British subsidiary for Neff, which was unknown in the UK.
By the time he left the country, to run Neff France in 1979, the UK turnover had reached over £13million.
He is widely credited for introducing the concept of selling kitchen furniture with built-in appliances as a ‘package’; a principle that is now established as an industry standard.
In 1981, Uwe Hanneck returned to the UK as MD of kitchen furniture manufacturer F.W. Wrighton & Sons.
But in 1983 he returned to run Neff UK, when it was bought by the Bosch Siemens Home Appliances Group.
