It might not grab the headlines that much, but the small business industry plays a vital role in the business world and the UK’s economy. This is especially true when it comes to the local area’s economy and potentially its employment rates. Villages and smaller towns are dependent on small and medium-sized companies to provide jobs and increase the local consumer spending.

The real value of a large company is often notable through employment and is based on how many local jobs they facilitate. However, when people buy or use a service from an SME, it improves the local economy, and the profits are much more likely to remain in Dorset. Local businesses need a company that understands their needs and Johnson’s of Shaftesbury works with several SMEs every week.
