Mary Portas Training
A group a local retailers enjoyed a day of training in the Mary Portas approach to retailing. The course was arranged and introduced by Mandy Payne of the Retail Skillshop, managed by The Bournemouth and Poole College and supported by the BID for those taking part from the BID area. The module titled "creating desire" dealt with merchandising, display and windows and was one of the seven master classes which form the Mary Portas Guide to Successful Retailing. Launching the new programme Mary Portas said, "Retailing success comes from being brilliant at what you do. I believe that these new masterclasses will help you get there." Through its co-operation with the Retail Skillshop the BID is helping the town's retailers improve their staff's skills and expertise which should have a beneficial effect not just on takings but also upon the experience of local and visiting shoppers. Ideas and feedback please to Phil Gordon at philg@dorchesterdorset.co.uk |

This is the site for the Dorchester BID (Business Improvement District). Dorchester is an attractive market town set in the beautiful Dorset countryside and just inland from the famous Jurassic Coast - a World Heritage site. The town has a rich history, much evidence of which is still plainly visible. Maiden Castle, the largest hill fort in Britain lies just outside Dorchester and takes this history back 5,000 years to the late Stone Age/early Bronze Age. One of the aims of the BID is to focus attention on the attractions of the town.
Businesses in the town and others interested are invited to apply for free registration for this website. Registering will allow BID area businesses to make a Directory entry for our Town promotion website www.dorchesterdorset.com and suggest ideas that could make good projects for future inclusion in the BID. Town businesses within the BID area can vote for the project ideas that had been put forward. We would like people to continue voting so that we can see which other issues to tackle if money becomes available.Sign up now !
