Hi lads
Has any one got any good leads for work in holland,onshore or offshore
Thanks
 
terneuzen great coffeeshop/botlek/holland job january

there must still be bikes lying around terneuzen, i took about 50 from dow benelux,haha, miss the checkpoint, its seems to me as if they;ve tried to phase out brits in holland, over the years. ive worked at nearly every petro-chem in holland as well as botlek, offshore, every company, VDP,MOBUCO,HCI,SGB,SMS.

ANDY BIRCH AND TIM THE GEORDIE, GOOD GUYS.

theres a job advertised on gumtree, starting jan/feb in holland/germany.

no info on whos job, company etc. but it seems to say the company is from leeds. theyre just taking CV'S at moment.
 
damm , thats a shame, wouldve liked to make a trip down there. why did it get closed ?

hoping envirowrap have work next year, would like to go back to scaffolders graveyard, britains fucked, offshore britain has too many arseholes in my experience.
 
Hi kawasaki the original party animal, glad you are ok some great times early 90's. Me and eds still laugh about the crazy times.
p.s Is my old mate andy birch still out there.
 
as far as i know, Andy Birch is still at botlek, i spoke to rob turnbull a month or so ago, he said they only have about 10 men at the botlek now. i once took a good punch from andy for locking him out the house, lol, happy days.

Im guessing......Mark Bryant???....Hope alls good mate,& also with Ed s.An yea,I think Andys stillout there. Stay lucky mate.
 
im john , yeah, and i vaguely remember there was people staying at a campsite, but not me, i think it was a few geordies. youre name rings a bell, think i might have worked with u at some point hard to believe checkpoint was closed, that place was printing money, only competition was from the small turkish place across the road.
