Grupa Warszawa

ABOUT US

Grupa Warszawa was established in 2008 with an opening of a café-bar whose aim was to promote new culture and art. Inevitably this led to company growth towards gastronomy management and comprehensive event management. These days Grupa Warszawa runs various types of gastronomical venues and aims at expanding that portfolio. As a shareholder of MD4, Grupa Warszawa is also involved in film production.

Norbert Redkie

’85

As Grupa Warszawa’s founder, I am characterized by restlessness in business. I enjoy creating fine things. Whether that means clubs, restaurant, films or mobile phone games is of no importance. What matters is that they bring joy to people. That is the keystone of my success. I am a firm believer in undertaking new challenges and overcoming weaknesses as a crucial element of one’s development. I spend my free time surrounded by friends and family, throwing parties or cooking for them. At the weekends, I get out of the city to make bonfires, enjoy nature and do all sorts of extreme sports.

Bartłomiej Kraciuk

’84

I returned to Warsaw from New York to create something cool and worthwhile. I have always had a deep interest in art: I used to create it and these days I collect it. My zeal for business stems from my home where I was given the finest examples. With my experience I have learnt that it is the most unexpected combination that brings about the most fruitful effects. Since art and business are best mixed in cooking, it is cuisine that delights me most with all fancy experiments giving rise to an outcome that is pleasing to the palate.

’85

I joined Grupa Warszawa in 2011. Having gained experience in other fields of business, I wished to contribute to building modern Warsaw deriving inspiration from the all over the world. I adore building relationships with clients and co-workers: that is what energises and drives me. All forms of improving and optimising the business give me pure delight: whether it is coming up with simplest solutions or, on the contrary, adopting the latest technology. Going to the gym is my source of energy while target shooting gives me an outlet for it.
