Montfort clients feature in Jewish Chronicle article
Montfort clients feature in Jewish Chronicle 18/04/2008 article Next year in...Sydney by Jan Shure with additional reporting by Dan Goldberg
“Pauline Nel and her husband, Louis have decided that Australia is where they want to make a new life with their son Jannie, four, and daughter, Mia, two. They are moving to Sydney later this year.
They first visited Australia just over a year ago for a holiday and to see whether it was somewhere we could live. We visited Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne to get an overview of each city. Louis grew up with a very outdoors lifestyle. In addition I suppose we have always known that England is not the only place to live your life.
Nel, 35, a company director with a background in human resources, said the toughest aspect has been the immigration process, which she describes as “a very long, arduous process”. She hopes the settling in will be made easier by the fact that her brother is already in Sydney, and their parents are currently applying for visas to join them.
Apart from the outdoor life and the climate, it is the work-life balance which especially appeals to Nel. “Work is just one part of your life. When you are finished, you go home and spend time with your family or do other activities. Also, the facilities there are much more affordable — you can go out for the day without spending a fortune, and there are beaches, mountains, parks, public barbecues you can use.”
She is also pragmatic about the future: “I’m under no illusions of us being financially better off, but I do believe our quality of life will be richer.”
The Nels and her parents, the Kellys, are all clients of Montfort International plc which is providing both visa and financial advice serves to them all.
