Holland & Barrett International

Holland & Barrett is a leading specialist in natural health, with over 150 years of experience in the European market, making us the largest and oldest health retailer in Europe. We boast more than 1,600 stores across 19 countries, positioning us as a global leader in nutritional supplements, natural beauty and health food retail.

Our presence spans Europe, mainly the Netherlands and Greece and extends to other parts of the world, including China, Saudi Arabia and India to name a few. As the UK’s original health and wellness retailer, Holland & Barrett is evolving into a global destination for effective wellness solutions. Our goal is to become the trusted partner for over 100 million people worldwide.

Since acquiring the Netherlands health chain De Tuinen in 2003, comprising over 200 stores, Holland & Barrett has become a market-leading brand with over 95% brand recognition in this short time. This acquisition has significantly expanded our range of nutritional supplements and sports products.

The ambition to make Holland & Barrett a go-to destination for vitamins, minerals and other health products has driven our rapid international expansion. This growth is supported by both physical stores and a robust online presence, alongside strong branded marketing that focuses on customer wellness missions.

Holland & Barrett is committed to addressing customer under-served healthcare needs, including gut health, women’s health, joint and muscle health, sleep, stress and anxiety. We were among the first brands to openly discuss menopause and our award-winning Menopause Awareness Campaign, Every Menopause Matters, offers advice and information in five different languages. Our colleagues are trained to support all menopause experiences, reflecting our commitment to holistic customer care.

We pride ourselves on offering complete and personalised advice in all our markets, both instore and online. All Holland & Barrett employees receive comprehensive internal training to stay updated on the latest developments and trends in natural health, care and nutrition, enabling them to provide personalised product recommendations. This dedication to customer service sets us apart from our competitors.

In 2022 H&B Benelux launched seven Health & Happiness Studios to offer our customers professional and personal consultations to provide them with detailed insights on their general and skin health. These consultations are also offered online.

In 2023 a Health & Happiness training program was developed to certify our coaches. We also started a collaboration with Mijnlabtest by creating our own testing kits, enabling customers to gain deeper insights into their personal health and well-being.

We are always seeking health and wellness enthusiasts to join our diverse teams, whether at our head offices, distribution centres or in-store. We pride ourselves on fostering a supportive culture where personal development, team building and a healthy lifestyle are key pillars. At Holland & Barrett, we are dedicated to the well-being of our employees and each other.
