Case Study: Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership identifies key local businesses with Beauhurst

How Dorset LEP Uses Beauhurst to Find Key Businesses

Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership (Dorset LEP) needed a better way to identify and understand high-growth businesses within its region to support local economic development and report to the government. Their challenge was the lack of a centralized, detailed data source, which made the process of tracking companies and performing outreach manual and time-consuming. They turned to the data platform from Beauhurst to gain these insights.

By implementing Beauhurst, Dorset LEP could efficiently track scaleups, monitor key company events, and perform targeted outreach using detailed company profiles and filters. The solution saved significant time and greatly improved their campaign effectiveness. Beauhurst enabled a highly successful outreach campaign for an international trade fund, where they achieved a 17% conversion rate, meaning 29 of the 168 businesses contacted went on to secure funding.
