Meet Attitude Holland

• 
• Rob, co-owner, since 1999, the start of Attitude Holland!
  15-05-1970
  
  Who is Rob?
  I love life, love everything. My family is very important to me, I love my two daughters and my incredibly beautiful and sexy wife Beccie. Attitude Holland became a big part of my life, I’m always busy doing or thinking about something for Attitude. I absolutely love being able to express all of my creativity, love and being in a company.
  Everybody is good the way they are, I always wish everyone else the best. Whatever I do I always give it my full attention and love.
  My keywords: meditation, sports, good food, rock-metal-jazz-classical music, family, connections, black, sun-sea-beach, hippie, festivals and always keep on going.
  
• Did you know?
  - I’m a pro at combining chaos and structure.
  - I’m a bit too competitive sometimes. When I do something it’s all or nothing..
  - To relax I love to meditate.  Once in a while I go to a meditation retreat - 10 days of meditation, extreme silence and not even looking at anybody. It’s amazing!
  - In 1995 I went to Australia for a year, this was a once in a lifetime experience: beautiful-good-fun-crazy-wild-nice-healthy. It felt like a new start in my life.  For our marriage we went back to Australia, one of the most beautiful places on earth. And the most beautiful airport I’ve ever seen in Broome, WA: a bar/restaurant with a runway right next to it.
  - Edam is like a picturesque open-air museum, I love being here. Crossing the Ijsselmeer in my boat is one of my favourite things to do in the summer.

  Everything Beccie looks good in! And that’s a lot…
  My favourite colour? Black! And I think Killstar, Restyle, Patrice Catanzaro, Alchemy Gothic, Spiral and Zac’s Alter Ego are very creative, beautiful brands.

• Rebecca, Co-owner, since the start!
  25-10-1971
  
  Who is Rebecca?
  Happily married to Rob, we have 2 fantastic daughters, Holly and Lucy.  I left school when I was 17 (I never really knew what I wanted to do) to work for my older brother, who had set up a business selling “heavy metal gear” – what was later to become Attitude UK.  I often got itchy feet and went off to work in Germany, Italy and then a year travelling around Australia, where I met Rob.  We then travelled the world together for a year, and decided to settle in Holland and set up Attitude Holland.
  
  Did you know?
  - I met my future husband when we were working in the outback of Australia – I was packing squash on a farm, and he was cleaning the campsite where all the backpackers stayed, we've come a long way since then!
  - He persuaded me to hitchhike with him from Darwin to Perth ((4042km) – it turned out to be the adventure of a lifetime (I didn't tell my parents until we were safely home...)
  
• - I learnt to swim in Roald Dahl's pool – he lived around the corner from the house where I grew up in Great Missenden, England
  - I LOVE food, one of my favourite jobs was waitressing in a cafe on the beach in Manly, Australia, where I got to work my way through the whole menu after shifts (back at the hostel all my fellow-backpackers were eating pot noodles..)
  - I tried to dye my hair pink when I was 13, but I had to use up the whole can as my hair (light brown) just wasn't changing colour.  It did show up more in the light I discovered as when I got to school I was warned to wash it out or not come back...
  
  
  Best of Attitude!
  The best of Attitude is to me the diversity of products we offer, and the fact that we bring new collections every week.  If only we'd had the great hair colours we offer when I was a teenager, I'd have tried every one of them!  I now get to try them out on my  daughters and their friends, it's great that you don't get sent home from school in Holland for colouring your hair!

• Chanel, Logistics, marketing, administration and more…
  12-10-1987
  
  Who is Chanel?
  I’m a bit shy and love being on my own, but when I feel comfortable around people nobody notices it. My favourite pastime is lying on the couch with a blanket, a good book or tv show, and some tea and chocolate. I also love gaming, listening to music (and secretly singing along) and going for a walk.
  
  Did you know?
  - I’m crazy about dogs and since I read a lot about dog food (feeding them fresh meat) I got interested in healthy food in general. I’m trying to live a lot healthier now (trying!)
  - Most of the music I listen to I discovered via my mom. They’re mostly 80s bands like The Cure, Depeche Mode and The Smiths.
  
• - I also got my love for alternative clothing through my mom. In a store in Purmerend I bought my first alternative items: a pink bracelet with studs and a shirt with tribals on both sides. Not much later I discovered Attitude Holland online.
  - Before I starting working for Attitude I studied Classical Mythology and Hermetics at the university, and I’ve always had this big fascination about Vlad Dracula (not the fictional vampire).
  - I have two different thumbs.
  
  Best of Attitude
  I think I own something by every brand Attitude Holland sells, but my favourites are Kill Star, Queen of Darkness, Restyle and Disturbia. My Lindy Bop dresses are always a big hit at parties but in normal life I prefer comfortable clothing like jeans with a nice top.

• Kees, Logistics since 2002

  Who is Kees?
  Before I started working at Attitude Holland I was unemployed for 2,5 years. A job coach helped me to get the job at Attitude Holland. I was their first employee back then in 2002 and by now I’ve enjoyed working for Attitude Holland for over 24 years!
• Did you know?
  - I’ve been playing the guitar since 2000, still love doing it.
  - I love listening to music, my favourite band is Metallica
  - Next to music I know a lot about movies, I watch a lot of them as well, especially action, humor, horror and thriller movies. My favourites are the Back to the Future trilogy.
  - I spend a whole lot of time on youtube.

  I love them all! They’re all amazing to look at.

• Tamara, Customer Care since 2019
  13-06-1977
  
  Who is Tamara?
  I love animals, dogs especially. When I go travelling, I want to see as much animals as possible. 
  In future travels I'd love to go snorkling with a whale shark. 
  I feel like a contradiction sometimes, love the quiet and me/family-time, but also love being around people. 
• Did you know?
  - Ever since I’ve been to Mexico, I love eating Mexican food. I even have Mexican colours and ornaments of iguana's and salamanders on the walls of my house.
  - I hate the cold. 
  - My favourite time of the year is Autumn.
  - I love to be in our orangery, growing plants or eating lunch.
