Carmarthen — the Wealthy Welsh Town Filled with Car and Financial Industry Connections

The picturesque Welsh town of Carmarthen lies on the banks of the River Towy at the start of the famous Towy Valley and is known for its long and rich history. Located in Carmarthenshire, some 42 miles south west of the Welsh capital of Cardiff and with a population of around 13,500 people, the town is steeped in history and played an important part in the nation's cultural heritage. The 18th century writer John Leland even wrote that '�it standeth most pleasantly upon Towy, healthier than any in all Wales'.

Since then, Carmarthen has flourished and is now a thriving modern town, not only as a place to live but also as a centre of commerce and industry. The town plays an important role in the car industry, finance and motorsports and has become recognised as a 'factory town', with numerous well known car and finance companies based here.

Car Industry

Carmarthen is home to a number of the world's leading automotive brands and components companies, such as Cummins, Honda and Pirelli. The industrial sized town plays host to many factories, research and development centres and warehousing sites, attracted by the town's large skilled local labour supply and close proximity to large distribution networks. This includes two of the largest companies in Europe testing safety systems for cars, namely Vinci and TRW Automotive.

In addition, Carmarthen also has an increasing number of specialist garages for servicing, repair and maintenance of cars, giving customers the opportunity to trust their vehicles to the hand of reliable and capable mechanics. As well as providing services to the local community, these garages often offer 'on-site' support and travel to other locations across the UK. As such, Carmarthen has become a hub for car servicing and maintenance.

Finance Industry

Carmarthen is now firmly established as a leading banking centre for the region, boasting a significant number of financial services firms, including HSBC, Bank of Ireland and the Royal Bank of Scotland. In addition, the town is highly regarded by the larger national banks, such as HSBC and Lloyds, and as such is home to a number of their locations.

Among the larger financial institutions are Hargreaves Lansdown, an independent financial adviser, and Severnbank, an specialist in asset finance. Along with a number of insurance providers, Carmarthen has become a vital base for both corporate and domestic financial services.

Motorsports

Given the presence of automotive giants such as Cummins and Honda in the town, it is perhaps not surprising that Carmarthen has made a name for itself in motorsport. Fasnacht Motorsport, which is based in the town, is one of the most successful Welsh motorsport teams, responsible for supplying cars to drivers across the world. Its stable of drivers have seen success in races such as the European Rallycross Championship, the British Touring Car Championship and the World Rally Championship.

In addition to professional motorsport teams and drivers, Carmarthen also hosts a number of amateur events. The town plays host to a number of automobile, motorcycle and mountain bike clubs, and hosts regular meetings with the Carmarthen Motorcade Classic Cars Club.

Demographics

Carmarthen has the second highest population of any town in Wales, with a population of around 13,500 people in 2021. Most of the population identify as either Welsh or English and the largest percentage (39.1%) are aged between 16 and 44. The town is also noted for its diverse cultural heritage, with a large minority of Pakistani and Indian origins.

The town has an unemployment rate of 5.2%, which is well below the national average and 60.1% of the population are in employment, most of which are employed in the public sector. As such, Carmarthen is relatively economically secure and has seen a large increase in living standards in recent years.
