Vanessa Laval-Glad moved to Tauranga with her husband Gunter Glad from Auckland earlier this year.

They were able to make the move three months earlier than planned after Mr Glad secured his job at Datacom as a software developer. Mrs Laval-Glad moved her Auckland-based business Indigo Moon Photo and Video to the Bay too.

Mrs Laval-Glad said they had bought a section in Tauranga and started building their home last year so had their eyes out for jobs.

When they did start looking seriously they were able to find one quickly and moved down in February, she said.
