Hi everyone hope your all keeping well.
Just taking the time to introduce myself properly.
My names Kenny and iv'e been self employed since I was 16 .Started of by selling disposable lighters in doncaster underground! ah them were the days Moved on to running a large Rail recruitment & engineering firm by 24 with dreams of retiring by 30 but lost my business a couple of years later to a ruthless company (long story). Got disillusioned for a while so went onto the tools as a tiler where I spotted a niche for professional training so decided to start my own training college from scratch [/u]which reached full NVQ accreditation and now sits at the No1 spot on google.That took me 2 years to reach before I sold out to another organisation in sept. I have now just started another 2 ventures in the tourism industry so lots to keep me busy! Me the wifey and 2 nippers have taken the plunge and are moving to fuerteventura on the 10th feb so another big adventure on the way Ive made lots of mistakes along the way and probably some more to come but I hope to be an active part of this forum and hopefully learn lots while being able to share my expierence with you at the same time.

From Gas Lighters in Donnie to Beaches in Puerto Rosario. The stuff dreams are made of!

Good luck with it from not so sunny Cleckheaton.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome,
Puerto rosario is where my kids are going to school Richard.

Good Luck Kenny and welcome to UKBF

We've been in Spain for a year (from Whitby) although did do 18 months here 3 years ago.
Three kids, 2 fluent and one on his way. We live on the Atlantic Coast of Spain so few Brits. But don't worry about the kids they'll soak it up and you'll need to get used to the Spanish talking to your kids when trying to communicate with you - gives the kids a real sense of pride though!

If you need any advice or help drop me a PM

Cheers

Mike
