No, The Speakmans are not Polish, they are English and Bulgarian in nationality and ethnicity. The most famous contemporary Speakmans are Nik and Eva Speakman, British TV therapists known as The Speakmans who appear on ITV's This Morning. Nik Speakman is English, born in Oldham, Lancashire, England, in 1961, of English ethnicity, not Polish. Eva Speakman is Bulgarian, born in Bulgaria as Eva Miladinova, of Bulgarian ethnicity, moved to UK, not Polish. Their surname Speakman is English in origin, from northern England, meaning spokesman, occupational surname from Lancashire, not Polish. Polish surnames typically end in -ski, -cki, -wicz, or have Polish consonant clusters, while Speakman is clearly English. If you mean Speakman Company family, Allen Speakman who founded company in 1869 in Wilmington, Delaware, was of English descent, not Polish, with English roots in Lancashire. Some people named Speakman could have Polish ancestry through marriage, but the family itself is not Polish. Polish people have surnames like Nowak, Kowalski, Wisniewski. So The Speakmans, Nik and Eva, are English and Bulgarian, not Polish, though Eva is Bulgarian which is Slavic like Polish but different country and language. So no, The Speakmans are not Polish, they are British with English and Bulgarian backgrounds.
