The Hague may call itself the Best City Centre in the Netherlands in the ‘large city centre‘ category for 2013 to 2015. It was a close race but in the end The Hague was chosen over Amsterdam.

The jury commended The Hague on its long-term outlook and public private partnership, which has led to many new developments over the last years even in economically difficult times. According to the jury report, ‘The city is now among the national top and has developed into a ‘must see‘ destination. The Hague offers visitors a mix between an historic, intimate atmosphere and a modern, urban scale size.‘

The jury awarded the title of Best City Centre 2013-2015 in the ‘medium city centre‘ category to Venlo.

The jury evaluated the nominees on the basis of developments including:
- future proof
- business climate
- availability of facilities
- strategy to reduce vacancies
- organisational capacity

A large city centre has more than 325 shops while a medium city centre has 200 to 325 shops. The winners of the previous edition were Eindhoven (large) and Hoogeveen (medium).

Best City Centre contest
The Best City Centre contest is organised every two years by the Platform Binnenstadmanagement in cooperation with the partners Nederlandse Raad van Winkelcentra, Vastned, Rodevco, Shopping Centre News, BRO, Stenden Hogeschool.

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

S. Bhattacharjee | FP&A Manager

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".
