Thomas Frutschi was the manager of building inspection, spatial planning and infrastructures (BRI). His period of employment ended after 15 months in office, according to a press release issued by the municipal council of Saanen. The reasons for termination have not been disclosed.

The municipal council will now turn their immediate attention to appointing a new department manager. In the meantime, a well-qualified customer relations specialist is supporting the BRI department.

Employees from the BRI will continue to perform their duties as usual into the new year. However, due to a slightly reduced workforce, partners, customers and stakeholders are kindly asked for a little extra understanding and consideration during this time.
