HELPFUL Services
The pioneering design and urban-planning of Poundbury has resulted in
residents and businesses being located in close proximity to one another
T
he huge benefits of this include being able to walk
to work and a selection of helpful services available
right on your doorstep.
In fact, Poundbury is now home to over
3,000 people with 2,340 people working in 185
businesses. These businesses range from big international
companies to small family run artisan eateries and boutiques.
Half of the businesses operating in Poundbury launched their
businesses there and new ventures continue to open each year.
Poundbury is a hub for independent business, which is great
for the economy and for customers who get to take advantage of
these often unique and bespoke services.
The wider community of Dorchester and Dorset is also a
haven of independent businesses that offer a vast amount of
useful services for your home.
Word has even spread further afield, with both Dorset Cereals
and House of Dorchester chocolates, who are also based in
Poundbury, now attracting a global audience.
With such a high-density of businesses, it makes shopping a
pleasure with little worries about car parking and travel. Also,
finding trades and services is incredibly simple and close to
home. Forget about a long journey to find what you need and
instead get to know your local business owners and what they
can offer you.
