Cockermouth — a Place of Rich Car Industry, Finance and Motorsport Connections
Cockermouth, in the north west of England, is a historic market town located in the borough of Allerdale in Cumbria. Home to around 8,500 people, it lies at the rivers Cocker and Derwent and is surrounded by the sweeping Lake District National Park.
The car industry, finance and motorsport — three industries that may have nothing in common immediately shout out particular connections to Cockermouth. It is true that the town is close to major motorways and has a fast-growing economy that has been compared to that of nearby Kendal with its rapidly expanding population; however, the town actually boasts its own rich history of connections to each industry in its own right.
Car Industry Connections
Unlike nearby Wigton, which boasts a Nissan car plant, Cockermouth has no car plants of its own, but the town does have deep connections to the UK's automotive industry.
One of the most popular car dealerships in the area is Lancaster Suzuki on the edge of the town. Located in the industrial estate, it has been a successful business for more than 25 years and sells a wide range of new and used cars.
Cockermouth is also a hub for classic car collectors. The Cumbria Classic Car Centre which specialises in classic car restoration attracts enthusiasts from across the county. The centre hosts classic car events and offers a variety of services for classic car restoration including a range of both mechanical and bodywork services.
Finance Industry Connections
Cockermouth has enjoyed a steady growth in the finance and legal sector over the past few years. Major banks and local financial services companies have created lucrative opportunities in the area, especially with the opening of the Cockermouth Business Centre, the first and only grade A office complex of its kind in the town.
The local government has strongly supported the growth of small financial and legal services companies through various initiatives and investments, to promote a vibrant, business-friendly environment in the town.
The Cockermouth Business Centre is one of the most successful examples of public and private sector collaboration in the area and serves to stimulate economic activity and create local jobs in the finance and legal sector.
Motorsport Connections
Cockermouth is well known in the UK for its historic connection to motorsport and its growth has been reflected in the positive attitude of its local government towards the sport.
The town has some of the best motor racing and experience day facilities in the region. The nearby Grizedale Forest Motorsport & Experience Centre offers a range of experience days and events and is the destination of choice for a variety of rally and racing events throughout the year.
