From an Unknown to a Market Leader: Reflections on WEG UK’s Growth

In this special episode, we sit down with Marek Lukaszczyk, UK & Middle East Marketing Manager at WEG and the longest-serving employee at WEG UK, to reflect on the remarkable evolution of the company and the people who have shaped its success. Drawing on decades of experience, Marek shares memorable stories from WEG UK's early days, including working from a small warehouse where stock often had to be moved into the yard to create space for daily operations, and preparing for a press conference by painting the meeting room himself just hours before journalists arrived. The conversation explores how WEG has grown from a small operation into a globally recognised technology business, while maintaining the values and culture that have helped drive its success. Marek discusses WEG's open and inclusive environment, where employees are encouraged to contribute, develop, and play an active role in the company's future. We also hear about Marek's experiences in Brazil, meeting one of WEG's founders, and how those experiences helped shape his understanding of the business and its long-term vision. He reflects on one of his proudest achievements—helping to establish and communicate a clear brand vision for WEG—and discusses the company's commitment to investing in people through education, professional development, and career progression. This episode provides a fascinating insight into WEG's culture, growth journey, and the importance of building a business where people can develop, succeed, and stay for the long term.
