Life and professional history

In his youth he played tennis and hockey in the club on the Alster . After graduating from high school, he began an apprenticeship as a banker in his bank in 1965 due to a friendship between his father and Heinrich von Berenberg-Gossler (1907–1997), who was the managing partner of the then Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co. KG . In 1968 he went to London for Berenberg , where he discovered, according to his own admission, "his love for everything British". After returning from England, Heinrich von Berenberg-Gossler made Budelmann the general representative of the bank in 1981 . In 1988 he finally became a partner and co-owner of Berenberg Bank and headed the company as spokesman for the partners until he retired in 2008.

In 1980 Budelmann joined the Hamburg Anglo-German Club and in 1997, after the death of his sponsor Heinrich von Berenberg-Gossler, took over the office of president, which he still holds today. In 2004 he was awarded the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) by Queen Elisabeth II . In March 2004 Budelmann first became Honorary Consul of Luxembourg . When the British Consulate General on Harvesterhuder Weg closed on September 29, 2006, the British Ambassador in Berlin, Sir Peter Torry Budelmann, asked whether he would like to work as the British Honorary Consul in Hamburg. Budelmann then gave up the honorary consulate of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and performed this function for the British Kingdom from 2007 to 2015. In 2014 he received the Officer's Cross of the “Most Excellent Order of the British Empire” (OBE) from the British Ambassador Sir Simon McDonald.
