In the bid to tackle enduring recession, New Zealand’s Bay of Plenty is heavily promoting new business development and skilled migrants are increasingly being motivated to contribute their abilities, optimism and positivity in relation to economic growth. Anglo Pacific, the UK’s largest shipper of personal and household effects to Nz, is lending its support to the campaign.
Jason Diggs, Anglo Pacific’s Sales Director, says, “We’re working in close cooperation with Priority One, a monetary development organisation in the Bay of Plenty. It was founded more than a decade ago with the sole aim of developing a vibrant economy that pulls and retains skilled people and the businesses that need them. British people still represent the majority nationality of migrants arriving in this North Island hotspot, around a fifth of the total, and we continually pass interested parties to Priority One via the job seeker service on our website. We know they’ll love the Bay of Plenty’s bounty of beaches and culture as well as its irresistible way of life.”
On the west of the Bay of Plenty, a wide stretch of 259km of open coastline, lies the town of Tauranga. Ranked fifth largest amongst Nz cities with a population of 115,000, it’s one of the nation’s fastest growing towns and most desirable places to live and work. 50% of recent arrivals to Tauranga are young professionals aged between 25 and 45, drawn from the promise of an active recreational lifestyle as well as the high-end bars, restaurants and fashion stores that dot the waterfront metropolis. British migrants integrate easily and quickly.
Richard May of Orica Chemicals, an organization with operations in the Bay of Plenty and with Priority One, says, “Tauranga can be a city that warmly welcomes people from all parts of the world and it doesn't require much time to build up a good network of friends from work, schools or sporting and cultural clubs. The 2,250 hours of sunshine per year compared with 1,500 in the united kingdom, along with the attractive walkways and stunning beaches are available to be enjoyed by everyone. The job scene is varied, provides the possiblility to challenge yourself in a number of different industries and encourages you to make positive contributions every day. The outdoor lifestyle enables you to feel very connected to the environment and I couldn't imagine a better lifestyle anywhere in the world."
Strong growth is forecast for Tauranga and lots of new commercial and residential developments are underway with houses competitively priced in comparison to New Zealand's main metropolitan centres. Government and public organisations always invest in building infrastructure (Tauranga’s roads are 60% less congested than Auckland’s) and there are numerous research and development opportunities. Education is of top quality with ten secondary schools, a polytechnic and university presence along with a new tertiary and research campus within the pipeline. The area is also well-served with public and private healthcare.
Many innovative, high value, export-focused companies are thriving in the Tauranga region - particularly in the fields of ICT, distribution and logistics, horticulture, specialized manufacturing, marine refit and boat building. Port of Tauranga is New Zealand’s largest and most efficient international commercial shipping port as well as in the world’s best ten. Better skilled staff are needed to fuel these businesses.
