We’re delighted to welcome Krystyna to Composite Integration as our new Finance Assistant. She joins our growing finance team alongside Julie and Jan, bringing with her a wealth of experience, a fresh perspective, and a real enthusiasm for working in industry finance.
Originally from Poland, Krystyna moved to the UK in 2005 after completing a Bachelor’s degree in Special Education. Though she once planned to become a teacher, life had other ideas — and we’re glad it did! Reflecting on her career journey, she shared:
“I arrived in the UK in July 2005. Originally, I was only supposed to stay for a year to earn some money and go back to continue with my Master’s degree, but the world had other plans for me!”
Her first role in the UK was at the picturesque Hotel Endsleigh in Milton Abbot, nestled within 108 acres of woodland. She began working front of house, gradually working her way into the finance team, becoming Accounts Assistant in 2012 and Accounts Manager in 2014. Alongside her career progression, Krystyna completed her accounting qualifications, supporting the expansion of what became The Polizzi Collection, a group of boutique hotels led by Olga Polizzi and her daughter, Alex Polizzi — who many will recognise from The Hotel Inspector.
In 2022, following a house move, Krystyna joined the accountancy firm TaxAssist in Plymouth. Although she enjoyed the new challenge of working in practice, after three years she was ready to return to an industry role — which led her to Composite Integration.
“Composite Integration has a lovely atmosphere and reminded me of my time with The Polizzi Collection. I like the fact that everyone here takes pride in what they are doing; they work together as a team.”
At Composite Integration, Krystyna will support Julie and Jan across various finance tasks, with a particular focus on the Sales Ledger. She’s already off to a strong start:
“Jan has made my training extremely enjoyable even though there is a lot to remember! I feel very excited about my new role.”
We’re thrilled to have Krystyna on board and look forward to seeing the impact she’ll make. Please join us in giving her a very warm welcome!
