The second part of the meeting had a special character – members of the Council met with Minister Agnieszka Majewska, the Ombudsman for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises. The discussions focused on real problems and needs of businesses, as well as directions for actions that could strengthen entrepreneurship in the coming years.

An important distinction and a reason for pride

A particularly meaningful moment of the meeting was the ceremonial presentation of the 35th Anniversary Medals of the Polish Chamber of Commerce to individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to the development of economic self-governance in Poland. Among those honoured was Zbigniew Grzeszczuk, a member of the PIAP Management Board. The award recognises his many years of commitment, his work for the business community, and his active involvement in the activities of the Polish Chamber of Commerce.

For the Polish Chamber of Promotional Products (PIAP), this is a very special and important moment. Such distinctions remind us that behind institutions there are real people – with experience, consistency, and a genuine impact on shaping economic dialogue. The meeting concluded with a Christmas and New Year gathering, which, in a more informal atmosphere, provided an opportunity for conversations, reflections, and plans for the year ahead.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Zbigniew Grzeszczuk on receiving this Medal. It is an honour that we proudly celebrate together as the PIAP community.
