Chris Heywood - Project Officer
"Hi, I recently arrived with my family from South Africa and travelled, researching opportunities in New Zealand from Auckland in the North to Invercargill in the South, before choosing Rotorua as my final destination, it was a great choice, my wife and children have settled in well and made lots of new friends. We are close to the Sea, lakes and forests, (the closest beach is just 30 minutes drive away in Maketu!) It is great to work in such a stimulating environment."
