Jörn Geipel at German trade weekly MusikWoche reports on the ongoing staffing plans at BMG RM. Within two years CEO Hartwig Masuch wants to work with a team of 20 people at the Berlin headquarters of the company. An additional 10 colleagues will be working in satellite offices in France, the UK, Spain and the Benelux countries by then.

Dressendörfer added that by 2012 BMG Richts Management hopes to be able to double its workforce in Europe, making it a team of potentially 60 people.
