Wednesday lunchtime. You're mid-session on a Dachshund — low to the table, nail grind and tidy — and a Shaftesbury smallholder rings about their pair of working Cocker Spaniels. No answer. They drive past your salon on their way to Gillingham and stop at a groomer there instead. ForgeMason takes that call, captures both Cocker details and preferred days, and confirms the double booking — before the smallholder makes it to Gillingham.
Shaftesbury is a hilltop market town in north Dorset, drawing from a wide catchment of rural villages on both the Dorset and Wiltshire sides. Dog ownership is high among the farming and smallholder community, and working dogs that need regular grooming are the norm. The town is small enough that a single groomer serves a large area, but rural clients have no strong loyalty to one location — they'll go wherever responds. ForgeMason ensures that place is you.
