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.

In my day-to-day work, I advise on suitable mortgage products, insurance arrangements, pension, savings and investments. My company City and Country Financial Services, of which I am a partner cover mortgages designed for first-time buyers, remortgages, buy-to-let products as well as commercial lending.

Adrian Ociepka
I have been working in eCommerce for seven years and in the broadly understood commercial industry since the 90s.
I use two opposing strategies in parallel: a) a slowly rotating but wide assortment, and b) a narrow but rapidly rotating assortment. I use eBay, Amazon, Etsy and my own platform.
When the lockdown was imposed on the tourism industry, I did not protest, I did not know what to think about it. When restaurants, pubs and cafes were not allowed to work, I disagreed, I thought it was the wrong method. When hairdressers, beauty salons and gyms were shackled, I rebelled, convinced that this was not the way.
How safe are we in eCommerce? It seems like nothing bad can happen here, right ?. Trade is moving to the internet, a trend that has been going on for many years. However, some little tangible signals give food for thought. Today I look at my business again as if I was just starting out. I try to analyze the thought process of a person who, for example, is just about to open his first business, a company. Interesting experience. What decisions will a fear-fed young man make who has just seen politicians close and open what they want and when they want?
I have a few ideas, suggestions, ideas for discussion on how to protect yourself in eCommerce and more. How to run a business on the wave, under the wave, against the wave.
