BBC Radio 4 - Brits Abroad, Warsaw

With half a million Poles settled in the UK, Sarfraz Manzoor meets Brits living in Warsaw.

Poland's growing economy is attracting an increasing number of Brits to Warsaw in search of business opportunities. Sarfraz Manzoor meets them and compares their experience with the half a million or so Poles who have settled in the UK. 

Some, like the Cowen brothers, have brought British expertise to the Poland through business clubs - and an expanding chain of fitness gyms. Two other brothers also teach English, which is seen by Poles
as a passport to success and even a job requirement in Warsaw. Other Brits have left family and friends behind in UK to develop themselves and their careers. 

Whatever the reason, the Polish offer a much warmer welcome to Brits than many Poles get in Britain.


Producer: Sara Parker
A Juniper production for BBC Radio 4.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
