Who is Action?

Action is Europe's biggest shopping success. From just a single, small store in Enkhuizen, we have grown over 30 years into an international retail organisation with more than 2,650 in 12 countries and with an annual turnover of 11.3 billion (2023).

The numbers are impressive, but what matters most for us is people. Our customers to whom we want to provide value for money. Whether they are bargain hunters or treasure hunters; we always manage to surprise them with our good-value products and low prices. Our employees, who work hard every day to ensure the sucess of the business and of themselves. More than 80,000 people have already chosen a career at Action. Will you be next?

Our values

This is what we stand for at Action, and we expect you to be able to stand for this too:

Customer-focused
You understand that we are all about happy customers and do everything you can to ensure that they are. We do everything we can to train you in this. This can also be useful for your potential post-Action career.

Teamwork
You're never alone at Action. You can only create success together with your colleagues, so seek out collaboration and share your information and know-how with others.

Simplicity
Life is already hard enough. Therefore, we try to keep things simple at Action. We are practical and work towards a clear goal.

Discipline
At Action, we know what we can expect from one another. So do what you commit to and keep your promises. But that's just the right thing to do, isn't it?

Cost-conscious
Just like you, we want to reach the end of the month with money to spare. Therefore, always look out for ways to work smarter and keep costs down.

Respect
Our customers are just as diverse as our employees: young and old, men and women, and all nationalities. At Action we respect everyone, communicate politely, are honest and reliable.
