I would like to thank him very much for this personally and on behalf of the entire team."

Martin Hucke is an experienced specialist in professional communication solutions who has already been working for HMF for 23 years, and since 2012 in an executive position: As Chief Operations Officer and Chief Business Officer, he most recently established, among other things, the “5G Competence Centre” in Bad Münder, where small and medium-sized enterprises in particular can gain hands-on experience with the 5G future technology.

With Hucke as CEO, HMF will continue the transformation course it has already embarked on and expand both the project-related development, planning and implementation of customised communication solutions and significantly expand its range of services. “In particular, we are looking at the growing demand in the area of 5G technology and will continue to expand our broadband offering.
