Just a few months ago Alexandru Caldararu was working as an Uber driver in Belfast – today he works for a global laundry service franchise that opened its first UK store in Belfast earlier this year.
Romanian national Alexandru first moved to Northern Ireland seven years ago when his future wife Georgiana secured a nursing job here.
The Bucharest native, 37, had first visited Northern Ireland back in 2011 when he travelled over to visit a friend who was living in Newry.
