Mariusz Wojcik | Wolverhampton, UK

From Wolverhampton to sports arenas and the world of high-end real estate, Mariusz Wójcik is an entrepreneur whose business journey tells a story of intuition, courage, and relentless pursuit of ambitious visions that go far beyond the conventional boundaries of doing business.

His career began in the construction sector, specifically in building thermal modernisation. This endeavour laid the financial foundation, allowing him to enter the real estate market boldly. Today, his portfolio includes around 200 apartments and a thriving 25-room hotel under the Mariolodge brand, available on platforms like Airbnb. Mariusz’s properties are distinguished by exceptional quality and attention to detail, attracting many clients and investors. Currently, his company is developing another project with 70 new units – some will be put on the market for sale, while the rest will be available for both short- and long-term rental.

However, success in real estate is only half the story for Mariusz. In parallel, he is developing his activities in a completely different domain – the organisation of sports shows in the freak fight genre. As a sports enthusiast and promoter of these events, he has earned significant recognition, especially after the spectacular gala in Blackburn in June 2024. The event featured such stars as strongman world champion Eddie Hall and the famous Neffati Brothers. Not only did the event fill the venue, but it also gained record-breaking media coverage, with over 2 billion views on social media platforms worldwide, a result that is impossible to overlook.

Mariusz’s ambitions, however, reach even further. His next step is developing the World Freak Fight League brand, which will encompass the organisation of sporting events and the creation of a full-scale marketing infrastructure – from sportswear to energy drinks and other products inspired by combat sports culture.

Mariusz Wójcik exemplifies a new generation of entrepreneurs – combining investment courage with a visionary approach to business. His work demonstrates that one does not need to choose a single path – it is possible to walk two at once, or even build a bridge between the real estate world and a global sports arena. His nomination for the Business Star award is a tribute to his achievements and a recognition of his modern, multidimensional business thinking.
