Marek SCHEJBAL

Managing Director

Following an international career Marek arrived in Poland in 1994 to set up a division of a regional advertising network. After heading up GKK Direct (Mullen/Lowe) and then Ogilvy & Mather in Poland, he set up his own consultancy helping foreign companies enter the CEE region. This extended to sourcing and managing suppliers for B&Q, Castorama, Asda and Wal-Mart. Marek’s experience as delivery partner for the Department of International Trade (via British Polish Chamber of Commerce) 2014-2018 – helping British food/drink producers enter the Polish market – provided invaluable insights and contacts in the market.   Since then he has been exporting British products to the CEE region from UK; and managing international sales, marketing and contract manufacturing projects via a subsidiary in Poland. Marek and his team are best placed to service your needs.
