Uta Riechers and Martin Wuttke were instrumental design – and productmanagement – advisors for several projects within my textile group over the last 10 years. They have the rare capability of understanding the entire value chain of the textile business, while being skilled designers and trendscouts at the same time. Their work performance and – ethics have always been impressive, while their friendly, modest and caring personalities make them true companions in a tough business enviroment.
I will always recommend them, and they will always have my full support!
