Tomich Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 I am currently a Regional manager for Woolworths and I am in the process of applying for a permanent residency visa for Australia. However, as this process takes so long, we are also looking at going across on a temporary work visa (457). I'd really appreciate it if anyone can assist me with the names of the biggest retailers in Australia, or has any advice on sponsorship opportunities.ThanksThomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bots Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hi Tomich,I am also in the Retail trade in Botswana, and hoping to move to Oz by end of this year. The biggest 2 groups are Coles Myer and Woolworths. Most of the places Mara had mentioned comes under one of these groups.

By the way Jaguar and Land Rover is currently owned by the Tata group from India! Can you believe that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
