Info About New Zealand

The Job

The technical part of the job is very similar. Thousands of english plumbers and gasfitters have come here over the years. Many have retired here after long careers. They go back from time to time to see friends and family.

Differences between Britain and New Zealand

Plumbing and Gasfitting

Being a smaller country there is less ability to specialize, meaning trades people need to be able to do a wide range of skills. Gas fitters often need to do plumbing in the summer to make have enough work or alternatively work for manufacturers or suppliers doing warranty or repair work on lower rates. The range of materials is less. Trades people often make do or have to be imaginative where in Britain they have a special fitting for it.

Climate

Generally warmer, the skies are clearer.  This is summer. Our firm is in the top left of the photo. The middle is down town Wellington.

Class System

There is none.                                                                                                                                       

The people

Kiwis just get on with it.

Cost of living

Houses are cheaper, food is generally cheaper. Over all cheaper, but wages are also less.

Population

4 Million Verses 65 Million. There are no crowds, less waiting.

Why Come to New Zealand?

Climate, people, the landscape, life style, slower pace of life, no crowds.

Why you will leave New Zealand

You miss home, your family miss home, the english pubs, you cant stand the parochialism, you miss the english culture.

 

Why am I telling you all this?

We will invest sums of money into retraining you to the New Zealand way of doing things and we would rather you sorted out the above issues before coming.
