Kiwis in Property UK – is a professional networking group promoting business and career opportunities for New Zealanders connected with the commercial property sector in the UK, Europe and globally. We have almost 2000 members including property investors, developers, corporate occupiers, agents, lawyers, architects and many other professions associated with the commercial property sector.
We actively connect our members so they can do business together and we help new arrivals to find work in the property sector and settle into London life.
On the social side we also enjoy the odd NZ craft beer and occasionally dressing up in silly outfits! Check us out at www.kiwisinproperty.com or for further information or assistance you can email bryce@kiwisinproperty.com
The New Zealand Society – The New Zealand Society is a non-profit organisation established in 1927 that celebrates and promotes New Zealand brands and businesses in the United Kingdom, supports the expat New Zealand community, and welcomes all those who have an interest in Aotearoa.
Kea – A global community of Kiwis and friends of NZ who help one another through networking. Some very prominent Kiwis are involved with Kea both here and around the world.
New Zealand Business Women’s Network – have connections to some of the most successful businesswomen both here in London and abroad. They meet regularly focusing on networking and the power of having a strong group of women who understand the unique challenges of succeeding in a foreign business world.
The New Zealand High Commission – We hope you don’t need these guys! However they are our very invaluable representatives here in London, working to improve rights to the UK for us.
They also deal with passports and if you need to report a lost passport or have urgent issues, click here!
Also get onto Safe Travel which is the global consular website!
Too many people are told to “go contact the embassy” when needing help, but we recommend asking us first if it’s UK Visa related (the embassy does not do UK visas) 😉 They cannot do anything involving staying in the UK or getting you a UK visa!
Engineering New Zealand – UK Branch They provide members of Engineering New Zealand who are resident in or visiting the UK, and other interested individuals, the services provided by Engineering New Zealand to its members, including acting as a vehicle for members to contact and meet each other. The branch committee organise a number of events each year including social gatherings, technical meetings and visits to sites of engineering interest
