Local employers have access to a skilled, well-qualified and stable workforce, with unemployment rates well below the national average. There is a strong culture of enterprise and innovation within the area and employment in higher skilled occupations has been steadily increasing during the last decade.  The Poole and Bournemouth conurbation is also in a strong position to see major growth of its knowledge economy.

Bournemouth and Poole as well as the other major Dorset towns offer a wide variety of cost effective workspace facilities, with excellent communication links which include Bournemouth Airport and the ports of Poole, Portland and Weymouth.  A wide variety of organisations, mainly from London and the South East of England, are moving to this beautiful part of the United Kingdom and reaping the rewards of contented, motivated staff.
