Hi,

The decision you will have to make is very personal and also difficult.
From my knowledge of the Maltese economy in general but without knowing your exact job situation(salary,expectations and so on)I would really be cautious  giving up a probably well-paid management job in the UK unless you have an appropriate job offer here in Malta.
I doubt whether you would be able to earn more than the Maltese average income in that business here in Malta.Many are family run with the best (management jobs) being passed along within networks or family.
Look through the posts on cost of living and so on.

Feel free to send me more relevant details/thoughts and I will give you honest opinion based on your situation.
