Wanted Down Under Series 11
Episode 18 of 24

Families consider relocating down under. Will a trial week in Auckland steer Pam and Claire towards a future in New Zealand?

Having met in a cafe in Manchester two years ago, Pam and Claire have recently got engaged and are looking forward to married life. Longing for a more outdoor, active lifestyle, they passionately believe New Zealand is the perfect place to start the next chapter in their lives - despite the fact neither of them have even been.

But for Pam the decision to move to the other side of the world is complicated. With two children from previous relationships, she knows she would only be able to take one of them with her. A trial week in Auckland gives Claire, Pam and her daughter Lucy a chance to experience what their life could be like down under.

Maguire Quinn family update

We caught up with the family recently and they had some good news to share – Pam and Claire got married in August 2016!

The family moved over to Northern Ireland in May and Claire is currently looking for her first engineering job. Meanwhile, Pam has quit her job with the police and started a foundation degree in Digital Arts and Technology.

When they got home from Auckland, they did their best to move straight away, but discovered it was difficult to be recruited as graduates.

So Claire is hoping to gain some work experience and Pam is completing her degree with hopes of working in the media. She has been in touch with companies in New Zealand and is hoping to do her work placement there. With experience and extra qualifications under their belts they are working towards a move to Auckland in a few years.
