Training for the Aged (38)

Read this with interest as at 31 I have just got my PPL and also want to go the commercial route. My big snag (if you will excuse me also coat tailing!) is that having gained my PPL in New Zealand (where I am also planning on gaining my CPL and maybe even instructors rating), I understand that I will have to repeat a lot of the training to work in the UK (where I will be returning to live in a few years). Anyone got any advice on how much will be valid and where to find out more?
By the way, I applied for a cadetship with CTC McAlpine who sort out the EasyJet crowd and train them over here - they turned me down for being too old! Charming! (But worth a try!)
