Making their
Monarch
We pay homage to the homeland and profile outstanding Kiwi businesswomen rising
to great heights in the United Kingdom
It has been said that the British market is
easier to break into than the US. Why? There are
several reasons. Firstly, the US has much stricter
visa requirements that mean young professionals
now face a much tougher time getting permission
to live and work in the country. Secondly, Kiwis
have an affinity to the British. Being seen as a
brother under the Commonwealth gives us an
advantage over many other nations.
Thirdly, English is why New Zealanders can
succeed in Britain. We can exist in one language,
and apart from Australia, there is no other country
where residency is comparatively easy to obtain.
Here we profile four Kiwi businesswomen who
have achieved great success in their chosen fields
in the UK...

Who wants to be a millionaire?
We have long known that the mega-rich love London, but new
figures show just how much of a millionaire Mecca London
really is.
The city has some 281,000 millionaires, out of a population of
slightly more than eight million, meaning that around one in
every 28 Londoners is a millionaire. And this is before the price
of primary residences is added up.
Thanks to rising property prices, 50,000 Londoners became
"property millionaires" in 2012 alone.
