3min

20th May 2026 — McGregor Boyall, global recruitment consultancy specialising in technology, risk, governance, HR, sales, and marketing, announces the appointment of Marta Smith as Country Manager for Poland, marking a significant milestone in the firm’s continued European expansion strategy. 

Marta re-joins McGregor Boyall to lead the next phase of growth and development for the company’s on-the-ground presence in Poland, with a focus on building long-term partnerships across our global client base. 

The appointment reflects McGregor Boyall’s long-term commitment to the Polish market, where the business has already been supporting clients for the past five years. With many global organisations continuing to establish and expand hubs across Central and Eastern Europe, Poland has become an increasingly important strategic location for investment, talent, and business transformation. 

Marta brings extensive experience within the Polish recruitment market, having witnessed its evolution from a boutique, emerging sector into one of Europe’s most dynamic talent markets. Her appointment will help accelerate McGregor Boyall’s ambition to establish a truly local presence that combines international reach with regional expertise. 

Richard Lett, Managing Director at McGregor Boyall, commented: 

“This is a hugely exciting step for McGregor Boyall and a natural progression for our business. We have already been supporting key clients in Poland for several years, particularly across financial services, so establishing a dedicated local presence is a no-brainer for us. 

What’s important is that we are investing directly into the market with local leadership, local expertise, and a long-term vision for growth. Marta’s return to the business makes this even more special. She understands our culture, our clients, and the opportunity ahead of us in Poland better than anyone.” 

Daniel Fisher, EMEA Director at McGregor Boyall, added: 

“Having worked with Marta across more than one organisation, particularly during periods where we have scaled tech teams, it quickly became clear that she was the standout candidate for a leadership role of this nature. 

Her drive and tenacious approach, combined with a proven track record of delivering for both large enterprise clients and SME businesses, make her exceptionally well placed to lead our continued growth in the region.” 

As Country Manager, Marta will initially focus on expanding relationships with small to mid-sized firms while continuing to strengthen partnerships with client organisations already operating across Europe. 

McGregor Boyall has built trusted partnerships with globaclients for more than 40 years, and the Poland expansion reflects the company’s commitment to supporting clients wherever they choose to grow. 

Marta Smith, Country Manager at McGregor Boyall, commented: 

This is not simply about opening another officeit’s about building something meaningful and long-term in one of Europe’s fastest-growing markets. 

Poland has transformed significantly over the past two decades and continues to attract major investment from global organisations establishing regional hubs and operations. There is enormous opportunity for businesses that combine international expertise with a truly local approach. 

What attracted me back to McGregor Boyall was the ambition, the trust the business has built over 40 years, and the commitment to investing properly in the region. I’m looking forward to building a high-performing team, supporting our clients on the ground, and helping shape the next chapter of McGregor Boyall Poland.” 

The launch of McGregor Boyall Poland reinforces the company’s wider international growth strategy and commitment to delivering specialist recruitment and talent solutions across key global markets.
