Ok, I am now ready to start writing about this truly wonderful country and its people and I would like to thank those Dutch companies that provided us with so much candid information about Dutch people and their culture. You can’t write about Holland without picking up the phone and talking to the Dutch. I was told straight away, ‘you will find Dutch people all over the world and if you do not find Dutch people in a country, then you will not be able to make a living there!’
The Dutch are robust, to the point, honest and have become known as some of the best negotiators in the world. I should know; I sold advertising to companies in Holland for over half of my life! Of course just because they are sharp on barter, does not mean in any way that you are going to get a bad deal.

Deborah Cross, Industry Analyst, Food & Beverage Ingredients, from
Frost & Sullivan’s Chemicals, Materials & Foods group, comments on the
latest news about Kraft’s plans to acquire Cadbury…
Ever since the merger of Mars and Wrigley last year, we have been
expecting news about the next big deal and Cadbury’s name has been much
discussed as a potential for merging with another big name. The news of
Kraft’s offer yesterday, of £10.2 billion and of Cadbury’s rejection of
this offer, has led industry commentators to claim that this could just
be the start of a prolonged battle for Cadbury.
