Amersfoort/Bielefeld, December 3, 2025 – Frank Heus will become the new Director of the EK Fashion Business Unit: The Dutch executive will assume responsibility for the fashion segment within the EK Retail multi-sector group as of January 1, 2026.
Heus brings with him extensive leadership experience at the European level in sales, marketing, and management. His previous achievements include successfully developing and expanding brand positions in companies and organizations across various industries.
In his new role, Frank Heus sees himself above all as a source of inspiration and a motivator for a strong EK Fashion team: “Alongside a consistent focus on target groups in assortment and marketing, it will be crucial to build solid relationships and create bridges both internally and externally,” Heus outlines his objectives for 2026.
This goal aligns perfectly with the DNA of the group, according to Martin Richrath, CEO of EK Retail: “Proximity to customers and close collaboration with retail and industry partners provide the best foundation to support the trade in times of economic and geopolitical uncertainty that affect consumer confidence. We are convinced that Frank Heus will make a significant contribution to the continued positive development of EK Fashion.”
It’s not only the colleagues in Amersfoort who are looking forward to the new leader.
