Testimonials

Given our mission to end packaged water and fight plastic pollution, NBCC invited us to join the global #SolvingGlobalChallengesTogether Campaign of the NL Business Hub Network and their trade delegation to COP28 in Dubai. We are very grateful to be invited. It was a true honor to be there, getting a stage for our mission. The support of NBCC means very much to us and gave Dopper the opportunity to present itself at various relevant occasions. We are truly thankful for this valuable chance and are looking forward to sharing our mission again next year. The networking during the COP28 has proven to be highly effective and showed us the importance of connecting and collaborating. Lyne’s support and belief in our mission are inspiring and moti-vates us to continue our work. NBCC made it possible for us to meet with Meike van Ginneken, Water Envoy for the Netherlands, participate as key note speaker in the NBCC Water, Agriculture and Food event, attend a C-suite dinner of DLA Piper event, a one on one meeting with HRH Jaime de Bourbon de Parma, Climate Envoy for the Netherlands, participate in a survey, attend the Frontrunners’ dinner where the joint statement was delivered in a Dopper (‘Message in a Dopper’) and meet many captains of industry of the Dutch sustainability COP28 delegation. Our successful collaboration continued with the commitment of a number of European hubs of the NLinBusiness network to join the Dopper Wave and stimulate drinking tap water, always bring and use a refilable bottle and inspire their members to join the Dopper Wave. Once again, thank you very much for everything. What an impact, what connections and what a reach! We hope to continue our collaboration and remain enthusiastic about the possibilities that the future holds for us. And that Dopper can attend the COP29, wherever it will be organized.

The NBCC provides us with a great high quality network and very well organised events at which we gladly participate. Our CEO, Mr. Van Boxmeer, had the pleasure to address the NBCC Brexit Forum event of 29 March 2019, sharing our learnings with other companies, connecting with key stakeholders and to access cutting edge information from policy makers. The professional dedication of the NBCC staff to satisfy and represent the interests of the members can be compared to none!

We have partnered with The Netherlands British Chamber of Commerce (NBCC) in the NBCC Brexit Forum to help Dutch companies prepare for Brexit. The NBCC does a pivotal job in bringing together private and public parties to connect all relevant parties and combine all possible knowledge, both in the UK and in The Netherlands. I am pleased that they run the extra mile to help their member companies and partners. Their hard work has definitely contributed to the high level of Brexit preparedness of the Netherlands for all possible Brexit scenario’s. It is great to work with professional people as the team of the Netherlands British Chamber of Commerce (NBCC)!

The NBCC North Sea Neighbours Dinner was an exceptional experience: the NBCC has managed to rise above and beyond Brexit emphasising the more than 400-year long trading heritage, looking towards the future to strengthen the relationship of our two nations.

Tony’s Chocolonely launched in the UK at the start of 2019 with the mission of changing the cocoa industry to eradicate slavery and child labour driven by poverty in West Africa. The NBCC has helped Tony’s with valuable input for our launch plan: contacts of UK retailers, information on the chocolate market, market trends and requirements and possible scenarios of Brexit. Today Tony’s is in Liberty London, Sainsbury’s, Selfridges, Wholefoods, Waitrose, Ocado, Avoca and many, many independent stores; there’ll be plenty more to follow as we’re only just getting started. If you need a proper push to help enter the UK market, join the NBCC!

These last few years the NBCC has really shown their added value. All aspects of Brexit were / are covered and at the most senior level on both UK and NL side as well as from different angles of the Brexit debate the NBCC was able to attract informative and interesting speakers; members of the NBCC are these days the best informed corporates "in town".

Since joining, KPMG Meijburg & Co has realized significant benefits of being member of NBCC. What has been most valuable to us is our strategic partnership of the NBCC Brexit Forum, since its start in June 2016. It has contributed to our visibility as thought leader on tax implications of Brexit, valuable contacts, important insights and the opportunity to play an active part in the Brexit dialogue. A one on one meeting with the Brexit Secretary of State and attending the State Visit of our King and Queen to the UK, are just two of the highlights. When you do business with the UK, membership of the NBCC is indispensable!

The NBCC is for us an important network partner in our relations with the British market. The British market is for the Dutch Flower Group of great relevance, and through the endeavors of NBCC, we get in touch with, among others, key governmental decision makers. These contacts help to solidify our business in a personal way. Hence NBCC stands for us also as "personal and driven".

Henneken is the specialist of choice when it comes to removals to and from the UK, as we conduct yearly around 450 removals to and from these destinations. To us, the many networking events the NBCC offers are very valuable. The NBCC also provides us with important contacts and direct leads, resulting in new assignments and growing our business. The personal attention is much appreciated!

By working together with the NBCC we have been able to be on the forefront of the Brexit developments and interact with various companies to understand their day-to-day difficulties with doing business in the UK before and after Brexit. During every event we jointly organized, we moderated, we participated as speakers or participated as interested listeners, new information was shared and immediately framed to demonstrate its relevance to the public. As the professional organization that it is, the NBCC offers unique support and delivers on the trust you give it.

The network of NBCC is of impressive quality. Exemplifying a high level, the higher echelons of Dutch and British business life. Through the events of NBCC we have acquired three additional clients in addition to plenty of new knowledge. Furthermore, NBCC embodies the right dynamic between her members and external experts of the right calibre.

I would like to thank NBCC sincerely for your teams efforts and dedication in making my export taster visit to The Netherlands extremely fulfilling, enjoyable, informative, ambitious, thought-provoking, exciting, entertaining and fruitful.

This is just to thank you for the work done for our participation in our recent trade mission to the UK. You have managed, in relatively little time, to arrange meetings with seriously interested parties who fit our profile of potential UK customers exactly. Your input has helped us tremendously with developing contacts of the right calibre, at the right level and arrangements have been made for follow-up discussions. Once again our sincere thanks. I am sure that NBCC can mean a lot more to us for future business development in the UK
