More information about Tewkesbury

Tewkesbury, in Gloucestershire, England, is a historic market town with deep connections to the engineering and transport industries, as well as its more recent links with finance and motorsport. To understand its role in the car industry, its demographic profile and its connections with finance and motorsport, a brief overview of this charming town is essential.

Geography

Tewkesbury lies on the banks of the River Avon, southeast of Gloucester near the Welsh border. It has a population of approximately 10,000 people, with a median age of just 40. 60% of this population is male and 40% female, with a large percentage of the population aged between 25 and 44. It covers an area of 4,605 hectares and the average house price is around £280,000.

The town hosts Tewkesbury Abbey, which dates back to the Saxon period of 1000-1087 AD. As such, it is one of the oldest buildings in the UK. It also boasts a number of independent businesses, with a range of shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes, as well as a number of antiques and vintage outlets.

Car Industry

Tewkesbury's most significant contribution to the automobile industry is through its connection to the Morris Minor, which was built in its Longbridge factory between 1948 and 1971. The car was designed by Alec Issigonis, and the body of the car was made in Tewkesbury, then sent to Longbridge for assembly. During the war, the factory was converted to produce components for the military, returning to car production in 1947.

The Morris Minor, although not originally a success, has since become a cult classic, and has been rendered in a variety of forms, including as a convertible, a van and even as a pick-up truck.

The Morris Minor was just the beginning of Tewkesbury's involvement in the automotive industry, as it was also home to a car parts manufacturer, GKN. Established in 1920, the GKN car parts plant in Tewkesbury, known as Visteon, closed its doors in 2007, resulting in the loss of 1,000 jobs.

Finance

Tewkesbury's financial credentials have been growing in recent years, thanks mainly to the presence of Hargreaves Lansdown, one of the UK's largest financial services firms. Established in 1981 and headquartered in the town, the firm offers a range of services and products, from banking to investments and pensions. The firm also operates from additional offices in Bristol, London, Cardiff and Leeds and currently has around 1,400 staff.

Tewkesbury also has its own credit union, established in 2009, which is run by a team of volunteers. The union offers loans, savings and other financial services to members, with a focus on helping them to manage their finances in a responsible and sustainable way.

Motorsport

Tewkesbury is also home to the Silverstone racing circuit, which hosts events such as the British Grand Prix, as well as rounds of the World Endurance Championship and Superbike World Championship. In addition to this, the town is becoming known for its motor show, which takes place at the Long Marston airfield every year. This event attracts a wide range of manufacturers and enthusiasts, and is a popular destination for both professionals and fans alike.

Conclusion

Tewkesbury is a unique market town, with a rich history and deep connections to both the car industry and the financial sectors. Furthermore, its role in the world of motorsport is becoming increasingly important, as the town is home to some of the most prestigious races in the world.
