WANT TO GO HOME TO THE UK?

New ITV Series

We have been contacted by a Company intending to do a series on Expats living abroad who want to return back to the UK. We have attached their article below, if you are interested, please contact them direct.

Are You A British Ex-Pat In France Considering A Move Back To The UK ?

Are You In A Dilemma About Whether To Return?

If so ITV1 are making a documentary series about expats who are weighing up the merits of returning home.

It is the great British dream to find a place in the sun which offers tranquility and a better quality of life. It is no surprise then that many people turn to France with its stunning weather, cultural heritage and fiscal benefits. Yet despite this one in three people who leave Britain are returning home every year.

In many cases this has nothing to do with their adopted country but more to do with personal circumstances. Upon making the decision to return some find they fall back in love with the country and decide to stay for good but others are surprised about how much has changed since they left and end up ruing their decision to return.

So how can you be sure the Britain you left offers you the opportunities you crave? How can you reconcile so many factors such as career, property and schooling decisions whilst abroad?

We are offering expats the opportunity to be flown back home to see what the UK has to offer them. They will spend a week back in the UK with a relocation expert who will show them some of the things they have missed about Britain whilst also highlighting the reasons why they moved in the first place.

We hope by the end of the week our contributors will have either developed a new appreciation for what their adopted country offers them, or been inspired to return home.
