Email: k.wuehst@senator-partners.de
Industry expertise: Car retail, Mechanical Engineering
Areas of expertise: business succession

 

Mr Wühst is a partner in our Automotive Retail Centre of Excellence and our specialist in sustainable business succession.

He learnt the car trade from the ground up, so to speak. He quickly progressed through the ranks from car salesman, commercial vehicle salesman, bulk buyer, sales manager and service manager to managing director.

For more than 27 years, he has successfully managed car dealerships and dealership groups selling up to 4,000 vehicles a year, and is familiar with the challenges faced by German dealerships and importers.

He draws on his successful degree in psychology to carry out a thorough candidate selection process, assess suitability and provide support as candidates join their new company. „Nevertheless, during my time in operational management, I always worked successfully with recruitment consultants, as the aim is to find not just good employees, but the right ones, and to do so quickly. So I know both sides of the business.“

In addition, Mr Wühst served for many years as a volunteer lecturer in business administration at the Federal College of Business Administration for the Motor Vehicle Industry (BFC) in Northeim.

There, he has delivered several seminars and led a number of projects in this field, and has already successfully facilitated several business successions at Senator-Partners. Mr Wühst works closely with the Kassel Chamber of Industry and Commerce to offer clients comprehensive support.
