I am extremely pleased to see you all here this evening, so motivated to grasp the opportunity of driving the UK’s aspirational growth ambition in Poland and playing a great role in the UKs expanded success in this exciting market.
BPCC Chairman, Antoni Reczek, responded by saying:
This is an exceptional moment. The Board of the Chamber and I are honoured and inspired to have the opportunity to take part in such a logical and practical programme to drive forward bilateral trade and investment. This is absolutely the right moment to launch this Great programme and we will work with commitment and diligence to make it a great success.
