I handed in my notice today as I will be going to Australia on a years working visa with my girlfriend in March.

It wasn’t an easy decision as I believe ORIS Group are a company on the up with an exciting future but it was something I’ve been thinking about for a while and I feel that this is the right stage of my life to make the move.

I’m very keen to get into working in search engine marketing full-time and having always wanted to travel to Australia this seems like the ideal time to start working for myself. I’ve also spent some time optimising the ORIS Group website and they’re currently ranking in the top 5 in Google, Yahoo and MSN for queries on their most important term; retail loss prevention. I’ve also achieved some other very encouraging results for sites, targeting terms such as overseas property and UK online dating and Abingdon.
