Hilton Smythe welcomes to the market, Dorset Schoolwear.

Dorset Schoolwear was founded in 1996 and taken over by the current owner over 12 years ago and has been a real labour of love for him. The business is now being sold reluctantly due to his wish to take a well-earned retirement.

Dorset Schoolwear is a well presented and well stocked retail store selling a wide range children’s clothing.
