I am a Canadian who will be going to Bali in Aug or Sept. I am an International Marketing Specialist.

I worked in Jakarta in 97/98 and am returning to Bali to start a business with a friend.

If anyone would like to discuss business in Bali or share information it would be greatly appreciated.

The type of business doesn't matter I am just looking for more contacts in Bali and Indonesia.

We will be doing business with customized software and Data-Bases for hotels, tourism and such but this could be suited for any industry. I would also be interested to discuss with anyone in Manufacturing or Import/Export.

Ex-pats working or Locals in BALI would be great to hear from or anyone with business contacts.

Thank you.

DESIGN JOB WANTED IN INDONESIA

Posted by Chris Howker - 22 July 02

Hi, I'm a Furniture, Product and Interior Designer.

I started off as a skilled blacksmith and metalworker.
Then I taught my skills for three and a half years in Kupang,
Timor, NTT, Indonesia.
I went on an intensive Indonesian language course for three
months in Yogyakarta before I started my job. The working language
at my project was Indonesian. I am now fluent in the language.

In 1990 I married Paula, a girl from Timor. We have been together for
thirteen years and have two sons.

When I came back to the UK with Paula I went to Kingston University to
take a BA Honours Degree in Furniture and Product Design.

I then took a two year Masters Degree at the Royal College of Art, London.

Since I left there in 1997, I have worked as a freelance designer, and in two well known design companies.

I am now seeking a job in Indonesia. I would like to work with a furniture /
product / interiors company. I am a very good designer, but would also enjoy helping an Indonesian company to sell to Europe, the USA and elsewhere. I could represent them at furniture trade fairs, deal with Western companies, help with company organisation etc.

If anyone has any leads or knowledge of companies who may be interested
in my skills I would very much appreciate it if you could let me know.

Many thanks
