We help polish entrepreneurs to grow in the UK.
Knowledge, networking, collaboration
What is Roadshow?
Polish Business Link is organising a series of FREE Roadshow events targeting the biggest UK cities focusing on helping Polish business owners grow in the UK. This year all events will be online.
Events will give entrepreneurs the chance to get away from the day-to-day grind of running their business and think about their growth plan, and support in these challenging times.
Roadshow events will be also a chance for British SMEs to tap into the thriving network of Polish businesses, opening up the potential collaboration including lucrative export opportunities. Equally British firms will benefit greatly from identifying UK-based Polish contractors, for example in the construction sector.

Barbara Olejnik
I have experience working in financial departments since 2000. The experience I gained allowed me to become an assistant financial director in one of the development companies in Warsaw. At the same time, I have been an entrepreneur continuously since 2009. During these years, I have experienced a situation more than once, and I saw what people who want to open their first companies and go on their own could struggle with. I also know what problems and challenges may be encountered by entrepreneurs who already run their own businesses. I know from experience and practice how to avoid unpleasant situations and efficiently manage the heart of any business - accounting.
