Anyone around Hastings and Napier please
Hi there!
We are Roger and Laura from Bolton, UK, and are looking to make the move to NZ within the next 12 months. We have had our EOI selected and Laura has been in contact with agencies over there regarding work and interviews. She has actually had a video interview with Heinz, and we are waiting to hear the outcome, so fingers crossed!
As we are going on the strength of her 10 year career in food technology, we are finding a few jobs on offer in the Hawke's Bay area, mainly around Hastings. Obviously we have done some research into the place, and neighbouring Napier, and we like the sound and look of it... benefits from a warmer climate and character to the towns. Seems to suit our lifestyle and hobbies in the great outdoors too, which is one of the major reasons we are taking the plunge. Our heads are in the right place for making the move, with more pull factors to NZ than push factors from UK!
Could anyone give us any advice or extra info about the areas, in terms of suburbs to live or to avoid...? Obviously you can get a rather skewed opinion from the tourism websites, so any tips from someone who has been there and done it would be a great help.
Come on you Hastingsonians and Napierites?! Give us the lowdown, warts and all!
Look forward to hearing from you.
