of Plan-it Cards
Maciej Warchocki, the Plan-it Cards Franchisee for London & Canterbury, is a multiple territory owner with plenty of ambition. “Since I left university, I worked in Information Technology but have always wanted to run my own business. I felt restricted and undervalued in my job. I concluded the only way I was able to achieve success in a flexible way was to work for myself .I knew a little bit about greetings cards having moved to the UK from Poland and found a job packing greetings cards. I saw first-hand that with the right product and a lot of hard work I could run my own business.”

He wanted to create something tangible from his experience and efforts in the greeting card industry. To build an asset, an investment, that he could develop, grow, and when the time was right, to sell on in the future.
