The Netherlands attract foreign retail brands

International retail chains, particularly those engaged in the fashion industry, increasingly got a foothold in the Netherlands. 18 chains broke into the Dutch market last year, 15 of which in Amsterdam.

According to the research by CBRE released on Tuesday, 35% of all international retailers are established in the Dutch capital. CBRE claims to be the largest worldwide consulting firm in the field of commercial real estate. The research highlights that foreign retail chains tend to prefer so-called A1 locations with a high level of footfall to establish new branches, particurlarly seen last year when Stone Island and La Perla settled in the Netherlands.

With 57,9% of foreign retailers, London represents the world’s most international retail location. The British capital is closely followed by Dubai (55,7%) and Shanghai (53,4%).

For an expat moving to the Netherlands, getting the right direction is very important. It's important that one knows which steps and direction to take. Linda is an exceptionally talent counselor, her advice has helped me land a job within a week of coming to the Netherlands. I am grateful for her mentoring and look forward to a great working relationship in the future.

Dr. Hrishiraj S | Clinical Research & Affairs Manager

Together Abroad provided expert advice on personal branding including developing a top-notch, market-aware CV, highly tailored job applications, and approach strategies with potential employers in the Netherlands. Furthermore, I found them be highly knowledgeable in key related fields such as recruitment strategy, immigration law, contracts, labor agreements, and (un)employment benefits. I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
