2006, after that our website became eight years old without any serious changes, time seemed ripe to introduce something new.

We gave four apprentices the mandate, the confidence and free hand to build an all new website.

This page you're actually looking at is completely new designed and has (mostly) been engineered at our option. Often – and this is as it should be – the apprentices persuaded us with their ideas.

A young and innovative Team – Patrick the project leader, Armon the web designer, Joel the know-it-all and Michaela the 'picture-woman' – got involved with this unusual task. They achieved with much verve and courage within just two weeks an outstanding result.

I'm very pleased and congratulate these four apprentices on this fine work.
