Sue Ellson
Dublin Airport
3/10/10

Thanks to local Dublin international business CurrencyFair, the Melbourne based Newcomers Network is expanding internationally with its first international location being Dublin, Ireland.

Sue Ellson, the Founder and Director of Newcomers Network will be at the launch events at Cafe en Seine from 4pm to 7:30pm on Thursday 7th October 2010.

Ms Ellson started Newcomers Network in 1999 as a result of her own challenges of moving from Adelaide in South Australia to Melbourne in Victoria (approximately 800 kilometres).  She first met Brett Meyers from CurrencyFair through an Enterprise Ireland trade mission to Australia. 

Mr Meyers, who has both Irish and Australian passports, is keen to host the regular 'Welcome to Dublin' events on the Second Thursday of every month as he has moved to several locations during his career and knows how difficult it can be to settle in a new city.

Brett and Sue will also be hosting an Expatriate Business Networking event from 4pm to help people in the industry network with one another. 'After working in this sector for more than 10 years in Australia, I know how vital it is for people in the industry to come together and share contacts and opportunities to help new arrivals connect with the existing resources.

I have also completed two major relocation research projects and will be starting a new one on the topic of technology and the increasing social isolation of newcomers in November. So both events will be helping newcomers and networkers become acquainted in Dublin.  As the Convenor of the Victorian International Human Resources Network of the Australian Human Resources Institute, I am keen to share my knowledge and contacts worldwide. 

Our next location is London and the launch there will be held on Thursday 14th October 2010.
