HELPFUL Services
The harmonious co-existence of residential and business dwellings
is one of the crowning glories of Poundbury
T
he pioneering design and urban-planning
of Poundbury has resulted in residents and
businesses located in close proximity to
one another.
The huge benefits of this include being able
to walk to work and a selection of helpful services available
right of 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 ventures 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 House of
Dorchester chocolates who are 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.
