For the fourth time this year PBlink and BPCC has organised a business meeting for Polish entrepreneurs active in the UK. Networking was the theme of the evening's meeting, held in the elegant surroundings of Glasgow's 29 Private Members Club.
Bartlomiej Kowalczyk – PBlink founder officially welcomed all guests and briefly talked about past events organized in 2013 held in Edinburgh, London and Leeds. Bartek said: '' We are planning 5-6 events in the New Year, in various locations across the UK. Our ambition is also to organize Polish entrepreneurs congress in autumn 2014.''
Business support guru and Business Gateway adviser Arshi Ilyas, who has mentored around 100 start-ups, talked about networking as a very useful tool for each entrepreneur to build and grow business. Arshi said ''networking should not focus on selling products or services, but most importantly during networking each entrepreneur should listen others and try to establish long-lasting business relationship and share experience."
During event participants took part in the Christmas raffle with excellent prizes such as Glenlivet Single Malt Whisky, Polish sweets, backpacks sponsored by MoneyGram, £20 voucher to be used in the printing house BC Printing and £250 voucher for advertising on the Emito.net portal. £81 from the Christmas raffle tickets sales has been donated to the biggest Polish Charity in the UK – Barka UK.
Christmas raffle was followed by networking, which began with every participant introducing himself or herself to everyone else by glass of wine.
