With a little help from our friends!

As we know there is no single winning formula when it comes to running and growing a successful business, its hard graft, long hours and for many small businesses a lonely struggle as you strive to maintain production, fulfil orders and grow the order book.

A little helping hand can make all the difference and for many small producers in Dorset this assistance has come in the form of advice and practical help from Chalk and Cheese.

The recent Taste of the West Trade Fair held at the WestPoint Exeter is a prime example of how Chalk and Cheese co-operates with local producers to make a real difference.

Exhibiting at trade fairs can be both a daunting and expensive experience for small businesses, however Chalk and Cheese can offer advice and training on how to maximise on these opportunities and as in the case of the WestPoint, offer subsidised exhibition space.

In total, eight local producers took up the challenge, they included, The Seed Company, Manna Organic, Cranborne Chase Cheese, Cranborne Estate meats, Bridfish, Zoes Cakes and Chocolates, Puddings and Pies and The Blue Soup Company. With regional, national and even International buyers present, it was the perfect venue in which to present some of the finest products that Dorset has to offer.

Chalk and Cheese have been successfully assisting food producers throughout Dorset to grow and expand their businesses, if you would to know more about the organisation, what it can do and how it might be able to help you and your business to succeed then please do not hesitate to contact us.
