At Musketeer Solutions, we strongly believe that the strength of a business is deeply connected to the strength of the community it operates within. As a local engineering consultancy SME, we know first-hand the value that micro and small businesses bring to the local economy—and we actively choose to support and engage with them whenever possible.

Working with local service providers is not only a practical choice; it’s a purposeful one. Local businesses offer a high level of personal service, flexibility, and responsiveness that can often be difficult to match. They are deeply invested in the quality of their work and the reputation they build in their own community—values we share at Musketeer.

Some of the key benefits of engaging local businesses include:

1. Stronger working relationships through face-to-face collaboration and ongoing dialogue
2. Faster response times and greater flexibility in service delivery
3. Enhanced mutual understanding of local context and needs
4. Reinvestment in the local economy, supporting jobs and growth within the community
5. Shared values of trust, reliability, and service excellence

As part of a recent review of our supplier base, we were proud to confirm that virtually all our key service providers are from our local area. These include:

1. IT support services
2. Website and branding design
3. Telecoms and broadband—supplied by our immediate business park neighbour
4. Accountancy services
5. Software development and systems support
6. Fire and emergency lighting servicing
7. Heating and boiler maintenance
8. Office furniture supply and installation

By working closely with other micro and SME businesses, we not only ensure that we receive high-quality, tailored support—we also help to build a thriving local business ecosystem. These relationships are built on mutual respect, trust, and the understanding that when one business grows, the whole community benefits. At Musketeer Solutions, we remain committed to supporting local wherever possible. It’s not just good business—it’s good for business

Thank you to our many local suppliers and businesses.
