Young people, skills and business! A great mix. I was very pleased to be opening an event today in the Embassy’s Conference Centre organised together with the British-Polish Chamber of Commerce (BPCC) and SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise). What’s that all about? SIFE is a CSR project which is supporting young people to understand business […]

I am just about to go on leave out of Poland. One of the things I plan to do is watch lots of the Paralympics live on TV. One of my best experiences thus far was the farewell ceremony for the Polish Paralympics team last Friday. They are a fantastic bunch of dedicated athletes, who are gunning […]

Like many of you I suspect, I spent most of my spare time during the Olympics glued to the TV watching some extraordinary sport. Who could fail to admire performers like Mo Farah, Michael Phelps or David Rudisha? 29 gold medals for Team GB and third place in the medal table was a great feeling […]

Olympics opening day began early! I was at Polish Radio at 0700, fortified only by a double espresso. The toughest question by far: “Can you explain the rules of cricket?” I noted that it was the only game which could last two hours or five days and included a tea interval. But I am already […]

Sorry to have been off the air but I spent much of last week visiting Budapest and Bucharest in my role as Director of the Central European Network, which brings together nine Embassies in Central Europe.

This is a call for mid-size British business to take a closer look at Poland. Are you a mid-size business? Are you a mid-size business which makes something… something which adds value? If so I really want to hear from you. It’s dead easy to come and see me. If you are already doing business […]

The next day, Friday 27 July, the eyes of the world will focus […]
