1 March 1992 was Alexandra Hoffman’s first day at work in the Holsteiner Verband’s breeding office in Kiel. She was originally hired as an office assistant by the then breeding manager, Dr Thomas Nissen. Over the years, Alexandra Hoffman has developed into an employee who can be deployed flexibly across all areas. “She is practical, clever and talented,” says her former boss, describing Alexandra Hoffmann. She is highly regarded by her colleagues – her competence and reliability certainly play a major part in this. Today, in collaboration with Mr Weiß, she manages the accounts, but she also actively supports her colleague Silke Lepthien in the Holsteiner Shop. Incidentally, she has a daily companion: just like Alexandra Hoffmann, her dog Ben has become an integral part of the office in Kiel.
