A straightforward person for difficult paperwork
Mariusz joined Meridian Greater Poland in January 2018. Moving from corporate banking to agricultural consultancy was a natural step for him. Over the last few years, he has personally prepared 184 subsidy applications, 173 of which resulted in funding. Mariusz doesn't write applications for the sake of it – he makes sure that every figure in the documentation is reflected in the reality of your farm or plant.
In 2023, Mariusz helped our clients obtain a total of 14.3 million PLN from EU programs. His work begins with a hard analysis: if your investment has no chance of funding, Mariusz will tell you straight during the first visit. He doesn't waste time on projects that will get stuck in an office for two years. We know the land and the numbers, which is why Mariusz focuses on real opportunities, not on empty promises.
A practical approach to certification
In addition to subsidies, Mariusz handles the implementation of GlobalGAP certificates. He is the one who travels to farms near Poznań, Grodzisk, and Szamotuły to check if warehouses and documentation meet the requirements of retail chains. The average time in which Mariusz prepares a company for a certification audit is 34 days. He acts quickly because he knows that every week without a certificate means lost contracts with large buyers.
- Subsidy application effectiveness at 94.6% in the years 2022-2024.
- Conducted 67 preliminary audits in the last six months alone.
- Shortened the average business plan preparation time to 4 business days.
- Serves a permanent group of 42 farms in Greater Poland.
At work, he sticks to the principle: you get facts, not promises. If Mariusz takes your case, it means he will lead it to the payment of funds into your account. We watch the deadlines for you, so you don't have to remember the dates of the next intakes at ARiMR. Heads-up: Mariusz usually doesn't answer calls after 5:00 PM on Fridays because he looks after his own orchard then, which allows him to better understand the problems you face every day.
P.S. Mariusz is the author of our internal application scoring calculator, which is wrong 2.8% less often than the official systems.
