Motor-Presse: Driver change in Volketswil
Four years after taking the helm as editor-in-chief of *Auto-Illustrierte*, Ulrich Safferling is stepping down from his position at Motor-Presse Schweiz and handing the reins to his current deputy, Andreas Faust.
Reto Feurer, Managing Director of Motor-Presse Schweiz, thanked him for his dedicated and sustained commitment to the redesign and development of Auto-Illustrierte over the past few years and regretted the departure of the 50-year-old journalist. "With Ulrich Safferling, we are losing a personality who has given Auto-Illustrierte important impetus. Under his leadership, the magazine was repositioned, its online presence improved and, last but not least, a new and strong motor press title, auto-illustrierte Klassik, was successfully launched on the Swiss market."
Andreas Faust will take over as editor-in-chief on August 1, 2014. Ulrich Safferling will remain at Motor-Presse as Editor-in-Chief of Auto-Illustrierte Klassik until October 31 before taking on a new management role in Munich. Until then, he will assist Andreas Faust in an advisory capacity in the editorial office of Auto-Illustrierte.
