I am glad that we can develop the company with such outstanding professionals on board", comments Tomasz Lubowiecki, Founder and Chairman of the Board at 7R.
"Together with Bartłomiej and Łukasz, we work on maintaining the quality of our products and the bolstering of 7R's position as a leading warehouse developer in Poland. In recent years, we have recorded steady growth and numerous successes. The decision of Bartłomiej’s appointment as COO and Vice-Chairman of the Board, as well as Łukasz's joining the company's management board as Chief Capital Markets Officer, are testament to their enormous dedication to their work, the dynamic growth of 7R and the expansion of the company’s operations", says Ryszard Gretkowski, Vice-Chairman of the Board at 7R.

"It’s great to work with a team of experienced experts on a daily basis and to build on the strength of the 7R brand. We focus on the continuous expansion of our land bank, close cooperation with tenants and bespoke solutions that are also attractive for investors. Our warehouses are modern buildings, which thanks to the use of technology and pro-ecological solutions, are environmentally-friendly, and meet ESG requirements. It is the quality of space that we deliver, proptech and the minimization of our carbon footprint that distinguish our products from others on the market", adds Bartłomiej Krawiecki, Vice-Chairman of the Board and COO at 7R.
