The appeal of Britain could easily be dented by working in a Sports Direct warehouse in Nottingham. Not for Raluca Neag, a 30-year-old Romanian migrant.

“I got paid the minimum wage, but it helped me to save enough to buy a house in Romania after two years of hard work in the UK,” she says. “It has been tough, but it paid off because myself and my husband have a lovely little home now that we bought with the money outright.”

Returning to Romania and the north western city of Cluj-Napoca, Neag and her husband did not struggle to find work.

“Opportunities, especially in the IT fields, have risen a lot,” she says. “I work for a private hospital at the moment and found the job within one month on my returning to Romania. My husband found a job within days.”
