Dorset is home to a wealth of internationally competitive companies, many of whom are headquartered here. There is a strong culture of enterprise and innovation within the area and employers have access to a skilled and well-qualified workforce with labour rates below the national average.
The local environment provides the opportunity of living and working in one of the most desirable locations in the UK, featuring the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, vast areas of outstanding natural beauty and award winning sandy beaches.
Dorset’s locational advantages derive from its strategic position at the centre of the South coast of England. It has excellent road and rail links to London, two commercial ports and the growth of Bournemouth Airport for business and leisure travel all add to the location’s ease of connectivity within the UK and abroad.
