    Patrick Berger takes over management of DBU Facility Services

    Patrick Berger has been the new Managing Director of DBU Facility Services AG in Schlieren since 1 January. The 30-year-old is not only the new head of the family business, but also a partner in DBU, according to a media release from the company specialising in facility management. Patrick Berger takes over the company management from his father Daniel Berger.

    He joined DBU in 2020 to assist with the introduction of the Abacus ERP software. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) covers the areas of personnel, resources, capital, operating resources, materials and information and communication technology. For more than two years, Patrick Berger has been working to further digitalisation within the DBU.

    “It is a huge privilege and not at all self-evident that I can take on such a great responsibility at my young age,” Patrick Berger, who has a Master’s degree in business administration, is quoted as saying. “Thanks to this succession solution, the responsibility for DBU remains in the hands of the owners,” Daniel Berger is quoted as saying.

    In addition to the new managing director, DBU has also brought other young executives into the team. in 2021, Joanna Schneider took over as Head of Administration and Human Resources. She joined DBU as a commercial apprentice and has worked her way up to become a member of the management team.

    Sandro De Nardo, Head of Finance and responsible for Information and Communication Technology (ICT), is a new, young face who joined the DBU in 2021. In spring 2022, Reto Langenegger, an experienced facility management employee, joined the company as operational head of Facility Services. With the strong management team, the new managing director wants to concentrate on overarching topics and strengthen the DBU’s position in the market.

    SJA-Holding secures the long-term direction of the most important industry award

    The most important annual event for outstanding achievements in the Swiss construction and real estate industry, the Real Estate Award, has been secured for the long term. The company of the same name is being taken over by the owner-managed SJA-Holding based in Rapperswil. The investment company focuses primarily on financing, development, project management and services in the real estate sector, as well as IT services and digitalisation projects.

    “We are very proud that we can secure the independence and long-term development of this most important industry event in Switzerland with our commitment,” says SJA owner Serge Aerne. “The Real Estate Award is something like the Oscar for top performance in the construction and real estate industry. This motivated us to answer the call of the founders, who were willing to sell, to take over the event. Over the past ten years, they have made the award what it is today. They deserve respect and thanks for that!”

    The founders, Miran Mislovic and André Spathelf, are also satisfied. “We are very happy that we have found the right partners in SJA-Holding and in Serge Aerne. The solution found guarantees that the Real Estate Award will continue to be independent, innovative and pioneering.”

    Mara Schlumpf will take over the management as of 1 April 2023. She is currently still working as a journalist and head of print/online at “Südostschweiz” in Chur. Previously, she was Head of Events at the Aargauer “Landanzeiger”.

    This year, co-founder Miran Mislovic is still responsible for the organisation of the 11th edition, which is already in full swing. It will take place in the usual setting on 21 June 2023 at the Mövenpick Hotel in Zurich-Regensdorf. Innovative ideas and concepts can now be submitted in one of the five categories. An independent jury of experts and a public vote will judge the applications. “We want to stick to this system because it guarantees the highest degree of independence,” says Serge Aerne. However, with a view to the future, it is planned to include further categories such as sustainability or innovative forms of financing in order to better reflect the dynamic development of the industry.
