AngloINFO in Holland
In 2006, AngloINFO lanched its first website in the Netherlands, AngloINFO Holland South,
covering the southern half of the country.
The region includes the major population and business centres of The Hague, Rotterdam, Eindhoven and Maastricht, not to mention towns such as Delft and Leiden. The strong
maritime heritage together with the region's excellent communications and Holland's healthy business environment mean that the region is home to a thriving
international community, with English as its common language.
The same is true of the northern half of the country, of course, and AngloINFO launched AngloINFO Amsterdam to cover the capital, and the area surrounding it, in 2008.
