BCA left high and dry
The president and 49 percent shareholder of Business Communication Associates (BCA), Barbara Kwiecień, has reportedly quit to team up with Edelman Polska - a newly created Polish branch of Edelman Public Relations Worldwide.
The remaining 51 percent of BCA belonged to Migut Media, which is owned by Wiesław Migut. He consequently leveled a series of accusations at his former business partner, claiming Kwiecień acted deliberately to the detriment of BCA SA when she left it in order to promote her new role with Edelman Polska.
She allegedly ended the tenancy agreement, sold some of the office equipment and persuaded clients to leave BCA without informing her partner.
Kwiecień denies the accusations: "I never tried to talk the clients into leaving the company as I was its shareholder myself. I did nothing illegal and kept informing Migut about everything. He didn't want to buy my shares."
In 2004, BCA's turnover amounted to zł.3 million. The company employed 15 people and provided services to firms such as Vattenfall Polska, Chicquita and BAE Systems.
