Dortmund, 18 October 2018 — In January, the new protel support team in Leipzig is scheduled to start supporting hotels around the globe. The office located in the Fugger Business Park near the grounds of the Leipzig Trade Fair is ready for its new occupants. The training of the first group of employees to start working at the new Leipzig offices has already begun at the company's headquarters in Dortmund, and the recruitment of further employees is in full swing. With the opening of the new location in Leipzig, the Dortmund based property management software provider is further expanding its global support team and shortening the distances to its customers in the eastern parts of Germany.

Manfred Osthues, Managing Partner, emphasizes: "We are very pleased about our international success. The opening of our US subsidiary in Atlanta last year, for example, was an important milestone in the company's history. But we are just as proud of the many regular customers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland who have been loyal to us throughout the years. We are doing everything we can to support all our customers as effectively as possible. The expansion of our support department with a further location sets an important new accent here".

"Leipzig is an ideal location for the new team," says protel's Ken Greeley, Vice President of Global Support. "In addition to our international customers, we also serve many customers in the eastern parts of Germany and around the greater Berlin area. We have found that personal proximity is very helpful, especially for installations and the training of hotel staff. That's why we've decided to position our new team in Leipzig. We are confident that this strategy we will enable us to attract many talented applicants with hotel experience to join our extended team."

The first group of employees for Leipzig have already started their training as protel hotel software supporters. They are getting to know the hotel management software from the ground up at the company's own academy located at the protel headquarters in Dortmund. The training is made up of introductory training units and practical exercises in which the new supporter looks over the shoulder of an experienced colleague on the job as a so-called "shadow". Equipped with the necessary expertise and practiced work processes, the first group of supporters in Leipzig will move into their offices in January and will start making their contribution to serving protel's customers.

As of January, the training of further new employees will take place at the Leipzig offices. Even after the opening, the team will continue to grow. Therefore, anyone interested in working in the Leipzig protel support team is welcome to apply.

protel is a fast-growing company that is continually hiring. In addition to job vacancies in support, there are also many openings in other departments. The company provides information about current job offers in the careers section of their website.
