Hi,
My name is Mathew Ashton and I currently live on the west coast of Canada. I am in the final stage of the immigration process for Australia - I'm applying under the Skilled Independent Regional Visa. What that means is that I will be restricted to working in regional areas only of Australia, rather than metropolis centers for the first 2 years. The place I've been approved to work in is Maroochy Shire; 2 hours north of Brisbane in Queensland.
I am hoping to hear from those of you who are living either in Brisbane, or preferably or north of Brisbane, and can point me to cabinetmaker/furniture maker shops in the Maroochy Shire. Specifically, I am interested in companies that I can contact about potential employment.
My qualifications are: (in short) 22 years as a cabinetmaker, furniture maker, woodturner, carver... Basically there is very little in the woodworking industry that I haven't done. If you are so inclined you can view some of what I've done at
Thx in advance, Mat
