Jan Mennenga, Manager In-store Merchandising at Philips in Amsterdam:

"We wanted to expand our team with a proactive, critical intern that would help us to advise retailers about how and where they could best present Philips products in their shops. We were highly impressed with the two Stenden students that came to the interview; which is why we decided to appoint both of them. IBMS students specializing in Retail Business have a great deal of knowledge of the shop floor on the retail side. That knowledge is very valuable to us."
