163ALLOUT

Hi Guys,

Not been on for a while,

I moved to the Sunshine Coast 3 + years ago, great lifestyle, beautiful beaches, lovely people socially but geez, trying to find good workers is a nightmare!

I came on a business visa, I set my own window and door manufacturing and installation company up and have struggled to find decent hard working installers. I know it's a similar story for most trades. So if you can get a foot in the door over here and show your worth then work is a plenty.

ps if anyone wants some fitting work let me know

Jon

Alright our kid how am ya

I originate from Solihull and have lived on the Sunshine Coast now for 3 years. My wife and two kids love it up here. If your husband can fit windows and doors then I have a job for him, CAD would be useful too. I came on a business visa and my company manufactures and fits aluminium windows and doors for the commercial market down in Brisbane.

If there is anything you want to know send me a PM and I'll try and help...It's the best move we ever made.

Hi Guys,

I have a commercial aluminium window and door business in Queensland. Most of my work is based in Brisbane.

I am looking for some experienced fitters/installers who are conscientious, loyal, hardworking and keen. We have a good order book and some excellent potential if I can get a good team around me.

If anyone is interested let me know on here and I will get back to you

Cheers

Jon

Hi Iron Chef

Thanks for this thread your a star mate.

I'm coming over later this year on a 163 business class visa.

When I arrive I would have owned my car for about 10 months.

It's a BMW 335I Auto sports. It's 4 years old and according to the red book the bottom trade in is $51k ranging up to $64k private. I reckon I'd only get about £13/14k in the UK.

My 163 allows me to come and go for 4 years etc

1) Do you think I might sneak past the 12months if I leave it in uk for a couple of months before I import

2) Do you reckon it's worth it cost wise

Thanks for any help

Jon
