Message from the Regional Chairman

This time last year, we were very much in the midst of a recession and certainly for the small business community, having to deal with some very difficult times. As always, it is important that we work together and continue to support each other as much as possible. We hope that 2010 will prove to be a better year with improvements in the economy continuing, and hopefully with normal service resuming for small businesses.

I would like to thank you in advance for your ongoing and much appreciated support.

Would you like to become involved with your local branch activities?

Events 2010

You should already have received the Events Programme for the first half of 2010 and details of the events from July to December will be sent out within the May edition of Wessex Voice.

All of our branches have worked very hard to plan these events and we welcome ideas as to events of particular interest, whether these be business oriented or social events which will enhance our programme and benefit our members.

The FSB are proud to sponsor the Small Business of the Year Award as part of the Langtry Manor Business Women of the Year Awards.  These awards are open to any Dorset based business. For further information on this award and other categories within the Women of the Year Awards please follow the link.
