This hub covers four Dutch provinces that lie at the geographical extremes of the Netherlands: Groningen and Friesland are in the north. Drenthe is in the northeast interior. Zeeland is in the southwest. These are the least densely populated Dutch provinces. They share a common characteristic for UK removals: they require specific routing decisions. Statistics Netherlands records around 3,000 British nationals moving to the Netherlands each year. The northern provinces attract those relocating for the University of Groningen and offshore energy sector roles. Agricultural and nature-related positions are also a draw. Zeeland attracts retirees and lifestyle movers from the UK.
