Hi All

I will keep this as short as can be.

We have been travelling to the UAE for 10 plus years now, and feel we are now in a position to do a relocation.

My wife has her own business which transfers with little to no fuss, so her income will remain stable.

I am currently a General Manager for a Industrial supplier - Bearings, motors, gearboxes, pumps, hydraulics - We supply into Oil & Gas, Food & Bev factories, mills and so fourth - Previous to this role I was a BDM for 10 years for the same company.

I did have a job signed and sealed then it got pulled due to complications with current staffing and the Ukraine conflict, which I was disappointed about.

We are fully aware of all the costings, from housing, schooling and so on. Thankfully we are in a good position where it is not a worry, but ideally I would like to have a position before burning through money being there for the sake of it if that makes sense.

Again I should say I am not boasting but I am just wanting to let any potential people who can help know we are in a good position - No mortgage as I paid it off last month, no debt, and can go at relatively short notice - Unfortunately my current company have no plans to go in the UAE direction.

I have been utilising Linkedin as much as I can, making some good connections, I have managed to get quite a good network in the UAE but nobody has a position available as of yet.

Would anyone on here be able to assist at all?

Thank you in advance.

Well - good news.

I relocated to Dubai 3 months ago today with my family.

Landed a fantastic role with a great package.

3 years of job hunting and we did it and will hopefully never look back.

Absolutely loving our new life here and are about to buy our first Villa.
