New beginning at Dehoga: Andreas Höffken takes over the management
a new era for the DEHOGA North Rhine
Neuss/Rhein-Ruhr. The Hotel and Restaurant Association Dehoga North Rhine is faced with a change in the leadership. After 30 years on duty, managing director Markus Odenbach will retire on July 31, 2024. Andreas Höffken follows him, an experienced and well -known name in the association. His vision and the challenges he will accept could bring important changes for the industry.
The return of a friend
Andreas Höffken, a 50-year half-Gieche with roots in Cologne, will start his new position on August 1st. In the past, he was active for Dehoga in the early 2000s before gaining experience in association management through activities at the Middle Rhine Football Association and the Marburger Bund. There he worked as a managing director and lawyer for over a decade. Höffken emphasizes that he gained a lot of valuable experience in his last position, but missing the close connection and service orientation within dehoga.
The importance of dehoga for society
Andreas Höffken has a clear view of the relevance of Dehoga: "The industry is relevant to society, and the association as its voice must be confident about politics," says Höffken. He describes his role as a carer for the interests of the members and emphasizes the need to improve the political framework for gastronomy and hotel entrepreneurs. This could not only support the companies themselves, but also to initiate a broader discussion about the challenges in gastronomy.
growth and change in the association
With around 5,500 member companies, the DEHOGA North Rhine is the largest association at district level in Germany. It includes a wide range of companies, including family -run hotels and international chains. With the return of Höffken, the association wants to support and promote the members as best as possible. He plans to use experiences and impulses to advise the members and to strengthen the networking between volunteers and the main office.departure into new challenges
for Höffken, a professional circle closes with his return to Dehoga. "It's a bit like coming home," he describes his anticipation for the new task. The upcoming change to the association management could be a significant step for the entire industry, especially in times of upheavals and challenges. The gastronomy and hotel industry faces numerous changes, and a strong, committed association is crucial to successfully counter these challenges.
The return of Andreas Höffken to Dehoga North Rhine could set the course for an even stronger voice in the industry and bring hope for positive development for the members and the entire gastronomy.
