Chapman Freeborn Airchartering has opened a new office in Poland as it expands to meet growth in the country.

The new office in Katowice will be led by Daniel Walaszek as general manager with responsibility for expanding the company's charter and on board courier (OBC) services in the local market, as well as eastern Europe and the Baltic states.

In a career spanning 15 years, he has worked in a variety of management roles for companies in the logistics sector.

His most recent position before joining Chapman Freeborn was as special services operations manager for TNT Express Poland, where he oversaw time-critical cargo projects on a worldwide basis.

Chapman Freeborn group sales and marketing director Alex Berry, said: “The last few years have seen our business go from strength to strength in Poland and we believe there is a great opportunity to further develop our unique aviation services in this market.

“Katowice has an abundance of manufacturing industries and a growing reputation for business services - meaning the opportunities to expand our specialist charter and OBC services are significant.”
