UK, Ireland / Journalist from The Observer looking for UK Poles returning to Poland [7]
I am a business journalist at The Observer newspaper (guardian.co.uk/profile/timwebb) writing an article about falling immigration to the UK and how it is affecting employers.
I have spoken to the Federation of Poles in Britain as well as businesses and economists, but am also keen to hear from Poles directly who have moved to the UK in the last five years to work but are now thinking of returning to Poland.
I would like to ask: why are you thinking of returning?, are employers offering you inducements to persuade you to stay (eg more pay, a permanent contract)? and are other parts of Europe now more attractive to work than the UK because of the economic slowdown/ high cost of living?
If anyone is interested in helping with the article, please email tim.webb@observer with your comments and your contact details if you are happy to speak to me. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks and kind regards
