Don't spread the word to much though as I think the Kiwi's would like to keep it that way.
As for your skill set; There is a recession on at the moment so manufacturing is way down; even in China. But while we have mobile phones and computers, people will break them and they must be repaired. Maybe even more so over here than in the UK, where it is not such a big consumer society. You have the manufacturing skills so when things change you can always go back to that although manufacturing is not that big in NZ.
There are lots of job websites, so you must trawl them and see what the markets requires with regards to your skills. It takes work to make it happen, but the result is extremely rewarding.
Good Luck

Hi there
Would you ever head back to either RSA or UK? Do you find living in NZ similar to home? Do you have any regrets on moving to NZ? May I ask where you are based and how you find the weather etc etc etc
We are wanting to head to Auckland to take our children back to the lifestyle that they started out with and I find that getting the British perspective on NZ a bit offputting (no offense) as they don't seem to understand the Southern Hemisphere way of life.
