Since August 1, 2022, he has been the division manager of eight BVK care facilities: the Bavarian Pharmacists’ Supply, the Bavarian Architects’ Supply, the Bavarian Engineering Supply-Construction with psychotherapist supply, the Bavarian Lawyers’ and Tax Consultants’ Supply, the German Stages’ Supply Institute, and the German Cultural Orchestras’ Supply Institute , the pension fund for authorized district chimney sweeps and the pension fund for journeymen chimney sweeps with a pension fund for the chimney sweep trade.

In 2016 he returned to BVK. Stefan Müller emphasizes, that the network of supply facilities is an invaluable advantage for everyone involved. In addition, customer orientation and digitalization are of particular concern to him.

Axel Uttenreuther, Chairman of the Board of the Bavarian Supply Chamber, emphasized in his speech that Ulrich Böger has had a decisive influence on the BVK and can look with pride at the successful development that the BVK has undergone over the last ten years, thanks in part to his commitment. And he is convinced that Dr. Christian Ebersperger and Stefan Müller will contribute to the BVK’s continued success with their new tasks: “Even if your predecessor leaves behind big footprints, we can look to the future with full confidence with you as your successor.”
The new line-up on the BVK board is now complete, with Axel Uttenreuther becoming the new chairman of the BVK board and Christine Draws becoming a board member for the Bavarian medical care and IT department on June 1, 2023.
