Together with PBlink creator, Bartek Kowalczyk, the BPCC has run numerous networking events to tackle these issues for Polish entrepreneurs in Scotland and the north of England.

Bartek Kowalczyk, founder of PickleMedia says, "Since I've been here I've witnessed the unexpected side-effect of Britain opening its labour market to Poles in May 2004. Tens of thousands of entrepreneurs from Poland have set up business in the UK. Most are still micro-businesses, though the more dynamic ones are expanding and taking on new employees. Typically, these firms are run by people are taking responsibility for their own livelihoods rather than seeking work from an employer, and are busy creating new wealth for themselves and for the UK economy.

"The scale of this boom in Polish businesses is evident across the UK. Spalding in Lincolnshire for example has four Polish-owned hairdressing salons. There are many hundreds of Polish grocery shops around the country, plus thousands of Polish-run construction companies, painting and decorating businesses, tax and legal consultancies, IT and media firms, plus active Polish entrepreneurs in many other business sectors. "While there are now many newspapers, magazines and websites aimed at Polish consumers in the UK, until now, there's not been a business-to-business (B2B) media outlet with purely business

content and advertising aimed at Polish entrepreneurs. PBlink aims to fill that gap. PBlink is designed to both stimulate Polish entrepreneurship within the UK, but also open doors to UK companies seeking Polish partners to aid expansion into Central European markets."
