A major new website is being launched globally to promote Dorset as the place to do business

Set up by the Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership, www.investindorset.co.uk showcases Dorset as the obvious location for new investors.

From boasting Dorset’s wealth of internationally competitive companies, excellent transport links via road, rail, sea and air, to the rich and diverse skills of the County’s highly qualified workforce - www.investindorset.co.uk will play a key role in putting Dorset firmly on the map for potential businesses and employers.

An interactive map and access to a live database to view available property and land are just some of the website’s key features. Thriving case studies from across Dorset’s rich industry sectors demonstrate to visitors the economic benefits that Dorset has to offer.

Gordon Page, Chairman of the Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership, said: “Dorset is well known for its beautiful location in the South West and it is the intention of the Dorset LEP to ensure we get an equally prestigious reputation for the area’s business opportunities. The Invest in Dorset website will enhance the existing business support that we already have in place.”

Managed by the ‘Invest In Dorset’ team, the website will play a key role in promoting to the global business community what Dorset has to offer as an investment location. Dorset’s Invest In team assist businesses with expert advice tailored to their specific needs. Whether individuals are thinking about starting a new business, expanding their UK operations, relocating, or seeking a UK base for their operations, the ‘Invest In team’ will provide them with a dedicated one-stop shop response.
