Foundation of 8.2 Consulting AG

However, it soon became evident that the structure of this network had to become strengthened to keep up with demand.

According to the idea of Manfred Lührs (developed during 1.5 years of parental leave), 14 consultants founded the 8.2 Consulting AG in November 2006. As the umbrella organization of the group, it provided contractual relations between single engineering offices which in the past were related only by contracts to Manfred Lührs and Jürgen Holzmüller.

Moreover, the 8.2 Consulting AG can do business with key accounts, develop of the area of offshore wind energy and strengthen international activities.

Since then, the 8.2 Consulting AG located in Hamburg developed into a stronghold. This joint-stock company does not collect money at the stock exchange but instead sells shares to the employees of 8.2 consulting offices. Thus, the share capital is increased step by step and, what’s more, the employees are bound to the 8.2 Group for the long term – a perfect concept for staff loyalty.
