Public Trade Office

The new Public Trade Office, or the International Trade Customs Office, at the Port of Poole is now officially open for business. The facility will create and safeguard jobs while attracting new businesses to Dorset.
Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) invested £950,000 of the government’s Getting Building Fund allocation for Dorset to Poole Harbour Commissioners for the creation of this facility which will be operated by UK Border Force. Dorset LEP has invested over £2 million to fund the Public Trade Office and a Port Operations Facility to enable the construction of a Border Control Post at the Port of Poole which will more effectively manage trade in Dorset.
