Derbyshire Dales Business Survey

We will shortly be undertaking our 2018 business survey focusing on the demand for business accommodation within the District, access to broadband and potential implications of Brexit. A sample of Dales businesses will be contacted by telephone, mainly those located on business parks and industrial estates. We would be pleased if you could respond if contacted by Qa Research, who are carrying out the survey on our behalf. If you are not contacted but would like to take part please contact nancy.maitland@derbyshiredales.gov.uk
