My brother emigrated to Perth 4 yrs ago, been a plumber / heating engineer all his working life, just only now passed his exams to have a contractors license ? much stricter over there ! He set up with two other guys approx 2yrs ago, and now their company employs 12 blokes and two apprentices, and he has 2.5 million bucks worth of contracts in the pipeline for this year already, why did you come back ???
