I've got a new job!

andy2407 · 01-09-2006, 19:45

I went for an interview on Wednesday this week, and I've been offered a job which I accepted today.
I will still be working as a sales manager in the paper industry which is what I did in my last job before I got made redundant. The new company is a small family run business making infrared drying equipment, and it sounds like a very exciting opportunity.
The job is based about 1.5 - 2 hours drive away from me in Thirsk, North Yorks, although I will be travelling (UK and overseas) quite a bit. I will also do some work from home, and maybe spend a couple of nights a week in a B&B near the office when I'm not out on the road.
They have told me there is a B&B they have used previously in Masham. Never been there but I understand the town has two breweries so that sounds like a good start.
I'm looking to start mid September, and it is a great relief to have a job sorted out - going through being made redundant is not a very pleasant experience at all.
Thanks to many of you in the Briskoda community for the help and messages of support I've had during the last few weeks

Well done,glad you sorted things out.

Why not ring the lease company to get your old car back.

***ncarring*** · 01-09-2006, 20:32

Yay! Well done. Masham is indeed very pleasant - father-in-law used to live just up the road, at Thirn. Nice part of the country.

Congratulations on the new job Andy. I had a 54 plate octy elegance 2.0 PD a really nice car, that would be my choice plus you should be able to get him down to £10,850 are very near to that with some haggling. Good luck with which ever car you choose.
