The Executive Board of the Federal Association of German Cash and Valuables Services (BDGW) has appointed Andreas Paulick, lawyer, as Chief Executive of the association. ‘The position, which was previously held by the Chief Executive of the Federal Association of the Security Industry (BDSW), has been eliminated following the latest change there. We have therefore decided to appoint our extremely reliable and dedicated Managing Director of many years as Chief Executive,’ said BDGW Chairman Michael Mewes, explaining the Executive Board’s decision.

Andreas Paulick, who has represented the association’s interests with great commitment and professional diligence for over 25 years, most recently held the position of Deputy Chief Executive. “Over the past decades, Mr Paulick has repeatedly demonstrated that his commitment, expertise and, last but not least, his assertiveness – particularly in collective bargaining negotiations – make him a key pillar of the association. His consistent, reliable work and his deep understanding of the industry have encouraged us to fill the position of chief executive internally. I am very much looking forward to continuing to work with Andreas Paulick in this responsible role,” Mewes continued.

With immediate effect, Andreas Paulick will lead the association into a challenging future in the field of cash. He and the association see it as their central task to preserve cash and the closely related cash cycle. Cash-in-transit companies face the ongoing challenge of adapting to a rapidly changing payment landscape in which digital payment methods are becoming increasingly important.
