Although expensive Milton Keynes has an abundance of work. Especially warehouse, better rates than most places because of the competition of looking for employees.
Staying on topic of considerations of moving don't forget it will be a years pay slips as you will change employer. Has your wife given you any idea of what environment she would like to live in?
Have been to Pets At Home, Swan Valley many times over the last few years with DPD. (Trailer swap in those 2 bays near the gate near the smoking shelter. Where you anywhere near there, Daveyw?)
I think he still lives in the Potteries and works for a branch of Pets at Home in the Potteries area, their RDC would, if he moved closer have potentially more job openings, thats why I suggested it plus the big new Amazon warehouse and other large places like Morrisons RDC in Swan Valley
It's not that expensive in truth,but I once looked at a house there, was thinking of moving there as its got a nice vibe in parts, would be ideal for a young family. I knew a filipina from siquijor who married and moved there.
More expensive than the surrounding towns. But also more and better rates for warehouse work. Great for families and outdoor activities with masses of green spaces.
