Default Home Working In Spain - It worked!!!

Hi,

I work for a HomeWorking Network in the UK. We take order entry calls and customer service calls for large global, blue chips companies for the comfort of our own homes, no commuting, great flexibility, and good money.

I used to work abroad for one of the major tour operators, and always said that I would like to return to live in Spain.

I have recently speaking to my MD, about taking our company to spain to open up opportunities there. Do you think that British people would be interested in working for a UK company, working from thier own apartments or villas????

I think it would be a great solution to the sometimes difficult job situation in Spain. All that is needed is a dedicated landline and broadband connection.

Please let me know your thoughts, it really is something that I feel would work well, but you are there and I'm here, so your comments would be appreciated.

Hayley

I think it would be a great idea, and I think you would get alot of staff too, there is a lack of real jobs in spain.

Hi, Glad you agree.

I just think it would be a really great solution to those looking for work, who have skills and experience, it could be full or part time. I am coming over soon to do some more research and maybe put some articles together for more feedback. Thanks again for your reply - very much appreciated

Like everything you have to do it legally, remember this is not a simple thing.

Are you are uk company or spanish company?
Your staff will be spanish registered, so which employment system would you use?

Speak to Dr Crespo on the other email address. Remember he is a lawyer, he is good, but his time is not free. In 5 minutes he will give you the answer.- probably.

Yes, we are a UK registered limited company, and of course leagally is the only way we would even consider it. We will of course follow all legal proceedures and avenues, I just at this stage want to research if there is a need/demand for such opportunities. I hope to come out soon and research further and I will keep your legal link for future reference. Many thanks.

Remember you are competing against call centers in Far East.

If you have an existing client base, I can only see it working, also the test is trying it out. Personally I think it would work.

Ps. my legal link, he is everyones legal link, he is a doctor of law, his english is excellent, his international knowledge is good, his fees are good, but he is not my lawyer, it is only the experience i have had with him.

His company did my legal work and my families.
I do not get anything for recommending him. So is of course your choice.
ie. no conflict of interest.

Default A great idea

Hi I am moving out in a couple of months and it would definatly be something I would sign up for. I'm a single mum and organising work and school in England is hard enough but to be able to work from home would be a great help to lots of people. If it goes ahead please let me know.

HI. Many thanks for your reply. We are just researching at the moment to see if there is a demand. If we decide to go ahead it would maybe be March when we start with a pilot scheme. Email me your details and I will keep you informed.

Many thanks for your interest and comments, and yes you are so right, it is ideal for you Judy, and also Suzzanne as per her post above. I really have had alot of positive responces, and very few negative.

Hayley
