The Fords in New Zealand

We are Chris, Vanessa, Shannon and Alex Ford. We decided some time ago that we wanted to live in a country where the main emphasis was on family and free time rather than the 'live to work' ethos of the UK. We chose New Zealand for this, and many other many reasons. After months of research we decided to settle in the Christchurch area. Our journey begins!

Some work

WC Monday 14 November. Shaun had passed my details onto the brick and block firm he is working for, so had my first spot of work taking off quants for brickwork tenders. Not a lot to do, but may be more long term and has sowed the seed that maybe without networks some cold calling and hard work may provide a route to self employment. There is a lot of work on hold till after the Xmas/summer hols and so permanent postions are hard to come by.

Bought a load of shelving and have mostly sorted out my office, desktop is out and running, can get internet radio running thru the Denon so Rob Da Bank (WHO...the Peel fans will know) sounds great!

Thursday meet an accountant in Kaiapoi for advice on setting up a company. It seems as simple as the UK, but need to ponder.

Friday I have an interview, well more a meeting, with Naylor Love who are quite a large contractor here, for a few weeks contracting work helping them out with with some final accounts. In the back of the net.
