Business advisor finds new niche in travel writing as he sets up office in Spain

Colin Bielckus usually runs his business, Outsourced Finance Director, from his home in Whiteley, but since October he has been working from the home he rents in Spain.

The 64-year-old suffers from arthritis and rheumatism, which causes him pain during the winter as his joints stiffen up, so he decided to ditch the cold and up sticks to sunny Estepona.

Colin said: ‘My wife Lorraine and I visited Estepona in February and decided it was the place for us, so we put our house on the market.

‘We came back in September with the plan to stay for the foreseeable future. I came back home for a week to get everything I needed to be able to work out here and I’ve now been here permanently since the beginning of October.’
