The Supervisory Board agreed to Mr Held\u2019s request for premature termination of his contract mutually and on amicable terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important to both parties to emphasise that cooperation \u2013 between the supervisory board and Mr Held, as well as within the management board \u2013 has always been characterised by a spirit of trust and a constructive attitude, forming a basis for the company\u2019s successful development both then and now. Mr Held took the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors in April 2011, and worked as a team with his immediate colleagues and the rest of the staff to continue the company\u2019s positive development, strengthen the market position and increase turnover as well as profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr Held continues: \u201cI\u2019m beyond grateful to the Supervisory Board for their confidence in me, as well as the responsibility they have given me in various business areas over the past eight years. Achieving goals together is one of the company\u2019s strengths. Nevertheless I want to change my career now, and I wish the company only the best. I\u2019d like to take this opportunity to thank my immediate colleagues and the rest of the team, and of course our customers, for the trust they have placed in me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Otmar Stein, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, made the following comment on the departure of Carl-Christoph Held: \u201cThis is Mr Held\u2019s personal choice, and we regret his decision. We would like to thank Mr Held for the very successful cooperation over the past 8 years, and wish him continued success and all the best for his professional and personal future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The crucial course is set for the company\u2019s long-term orientation. In 2019 the company&#8217;s position has been above average compared with the general market development. With a robust accounting and finance structure, the company is ideally placed to continue on this upward curve. Until the company makes a new appointment to the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors \/ Sales and Marketing Director, Mr Dirk Offermanns will take interim responsibility at director level for National Sales and Key Account business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In line with the company&#8217;s ethos as a family-run business, Mr Ludwig K\u00f6nig, who has been with the company since October 2015, grandson of the recently deceased Egon K\u00f6nig, will take over the management responsibility for national operations in the role of General Operations Director Germany for all business areas as of January 2020. Mr K\u00f6nig, who has been an Authorised Signatory since March 2019, has been running the seating division very successfully for some years, and has managed to increase the market share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information, please visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koenig-neurath.com\/en\/press\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">https:\/\/www.koenig-neurath.com\/en\/press\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With effect from the end of October 2019, Carl-Christoph Held will cease his role as Chairman of the Board of Directors at K\u00f6nig + Neurath AG and leave the company of his [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":35625,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[353],"tags":[1147,319,362,313,357,330],"class_list":["post-35623","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home-office-furniture","tag-furniture","tag-office-chair","tag-office-desk","tag-office-furniture","tag-office-seating","tag-office-table"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>CARL-CHRISTOPH HELD WILL CEASE HIS ROLE AS COB AT K\u00d6NIG + NEURATH - EXPO21XX.com NEWS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/carl-christoph-held-cease-cob-konig-neurath\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Marcel Huegel\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.expo21xx.com\\\/news\\\/carl-christoph-held-cease-cob-konig-neurath\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.expo21xx.com\\\/news\\\/carl-christoph-held-cease-cob-konig-neurath\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Marcel Huegel\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.expo21xx.com\\\/news\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/bd95c8756a923fd2192f30b343b9c719\"},\"headline\":\"CARL-CHRISTOPH HELD WILL CEASE HIS ROLE AS COB AT K\u00d6NIG + NEURATH\",\"datePublished\":\"2019-10-28T09:00:12+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.expo21xx.com\\\/news\\\/carl-christoph-held-cease-cob-konig-neurath\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":537,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.expo21xx.com\\\/news\\\/carl-christoph-held-cease-cob-konig-neurath\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.expo21xx.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/KN-Kopie.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"furniture\",\"office chair\",\"office desk\",\"office furniture\",\"office seating\",\"office table\"],\"articleSection\":[\"\u00bb Home &amp;
