He sat his trade test and served his apprenticeship in South Africa and then decided to travel to the UK. Ended up working as a sparky on the London Underground but wanted to get offshore. I recommended that he get in touch with Centralift, not a part of Baker Hughes. He was soon employed by them and has never looked back. Asked to be transferred to Asia since he is married to a Thai lady. Was transferred and now works mostly in China. He had a great opportunity to move into a senior office job in Bangkok but despite a big difference in pay, he turned it down. His worked off shore in Thailand before on a few occasions and he reckons the Thais are the worst people he's ever had to try and manage. Anyway, give Baker Hughes a try since they are a massive player offshore.

Ha ha....What a small world we live in. Yes you're right, he did a stint in Japan last year. He's just go back offshore a few days ago, back to China. He's some guy if you ever get to take a walk on the wild side with him.
Been close friends for nearly 30 years.
