Hi All
I will be moving over next month with my family ( wife and ten year old son) .
We will be looking to rent for at least 3 months , while looking for a suitable place to buy or build .
We will be home schooling our son for the first while and will have a bit of schooling to do ourselves :) , mainly learning the language and the ropes , red tape etc.
Originally from South Africa ,and have been in the UK for the last 12 years , so time for a change and some warmer weather.!
We will also be looking for business / work opportunities . I have a varied back ground , which I hope to put to good use. I have worked in the shop fitting industry for many years including top UK brands and have also been involved in the marine industry and automotvive restorations , so would be interested to hear from anybody who is involved in these industries for oppertunies or any business that may be for sale.?
My wife has many years experience in the banking , investment and foreign exchange industries , particularly in compliance .
I speak Dutch fluently and hope that that will be of some use as well.
From what I have read , I understand that it's pretty tough going finding work so will remain open minded regarding this , although not under any preasure to get into anything straight away.
If needs be , I would contract in the UK from time to time .
I would be keen to hear from any other South Africans living out there as well , it's World Cup time aftre all.
All positive comments , advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
