Building Bulk’s Manufacturing Operations in Poland

Client:

Bulk, founded in 2006 in the UK, is dedicated to empowering every athlete and individual with the nutrition and inspiration they need to achieve and exceed their goals. Bulk places quality at the heart of everything they do, with over 250 employees and offices in Colchester, London, and recently, Wrocław, Poland.

Challenge:

To support Bulk’s ambitious EU growth targets, the company needed to start up manufacturing operations in Wrocław, Poland while having:

✅ No local HR presence

✅ Limited knowledge of the Polish labour market

✅ The need to maintain a consistent candidate experience aligned with UK standards

Solution:

Before commencing activities, Dominik Kostecki who had lived in the UK for 12 years, presented a full market intelligence report including:

• Country specifics and employment law considerations

• Salary benchmarking and competitor analysis

• Candidate availability insights

• Recommendations for a tailored recruitment strategy in Poland

This was critical for UK stakeholders to fully understand recruitment and HR process differences in Poland while ensuring Bulk’s values and candidate experience remained consistent.

We provided a dedicated full-cycle recruitment service, assigning a Recruitment Manager and Recruitment Specialist to deliver:

✅ Market intelligence reporting

✅ Targeted candidate sourcing and research

✅ Candidate screening and competency assessments

✅ Interview scheduling and contract negotiations

Results:

Bulk began recruitment with us and we had successfully filled key strategic roles, including:

• Production Manager

• Quality Manager

• Quality Assistant

• People Assistant

• Accounts Payable Assistant

• Finance Control Manager

• People Manager

Despite high job requirements and the need for partially remote recruitment, we delivered a seamless, efficient recruitment experience, enabling Bulk to launch and stabilise its operations in Poland without disruption.

Feedback:

“The clear market insights and structured recruitment approach gave us confidence to launch in a new country. We trusted the process and were impressed by the speed and quality of hires.”
