Ian Girling, chief executive of Dorset Chamber, said: “The chamber extends its warmest congratulations to King Charles III and Camilla, the Queen Consort, on their coronation.
“We look forward to seeing the King champion and inspire British businesses in the same superb way as his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
“The coronation is a time for celebration, renewal and hope for better things ahead, while also acting as tremendous advert for the ‘Great Britain’ brand worldwide.
“I hope it may encourage more foreign visitors, overseas investment and international trade in the medium to long term as well as a much-needed boost for the hospitality and catering sector over the coronation weekend in Dorset.”
