Bournemouth BC, Borough of Poole and Dorset CC are launching their new company this summer. Named Tricuro, the Local Authority Trading Company (LATC) will combine some of the existing adult care services of all three councils, with a budget of over £38m and employing over 1,200 staff.

Committed to service improvements and efficiencies in their respective authorities, in 2013, the three councils – along with health partners – formed the ‘Better Together' partnership, designed to improve health and social care services for adults across Dorset.
