Simon Kriss, Manager Global Contact Centres w Cathay Pacific:
"The decision to choose Kraków as the location for a project as important to us as the Global Contact Centre follows months of analysis and complex considerations, with many potential locations involved. Given Cathay Pacific’s track record and passion for quality, the most important factor for Cathay Pacific is that we are able to consistently ensure a premium level of customer service. We strongly believe this is available to us in Krakow.
Interestingly, we arrived at this conclusion in two ways. The first was to check the hard facts, data, statistics, infrastructure, market maturity, growth trends and so on. The second was to walk into any café, restaurant or store in Krakow and immediately get a sense of the true service ethos that seems to be naturally inherent in modern Polish culture."

‘RWE considered various locations in Central and Eastern Europe. Kraków and a few other locations in Slovakia and Czech Republic were taken into account. The decision to choose Kraków as the location of the centre was made, among others, because of the local developed market of shared services, the excellent infrastructure, rich academic traditions and the market of highly skilled specialists – both those who are experienced and those who are only starting their career in this industry.’
