Introduction I am here talking to you today at the request of Juliet Pask as I have been involved in business with Poland since 1972. Yes 1972, I am that old!! Having obtained an degree in Business Studies back in 1970, my work in International Marketing started when was a young export sales representative working for Massey Ferguson. Yes, as you see, it was a long time ago!! I have been involved in international business since that time, following my work with Massey Ferguson, I worked for Cargill (commodity traders) as a Counter-trader and since 1985 as an independent international business adviser. Although I have been involved with Central & Eastern Europe for about 3 5 years, from 1993 until 2002 , I actually lived in Poland and worked all around the country. At that time I was a British government Know How Fund Adviser, helping to change the mentality of people in state companies prior to and during privatisation. My original Know How Fund project was forecast to last about 18 months, but our work was very successful and my contract was renewed every year throughout the 1990’s. Today I have two full time jobs which I will tell you about at the end of my talk.
