More information about Tywyn
Tywyn is a small town situated on the coast of North Wales, not far from the Snowdonia National Park. The town has a population of around 3,500 and many residents have close connections to the car industry, finance industry and motorsport.
With its quiet streets, quaint stores and beautiful scenery, Tywyn is often described as an idyllic destination for tourists and locals alike. But beneath its tranquil exterior, Tywyn has well-established roots in North Wales' automotive industry.
Originally a farming community, Tywyn began to expand after a local ironworks opened in the late 19th century. The ironworks had provided Tywyn with its first railway connection, allowing goods to be delivered to larger cities in the south of Wales. This marked the beginnings of Tywyn's industrial development, and its steady population growth over the next decades meant that by the start of the 20th century, Tywyn had become a bustling centre for automotive production.
As Tywyn's population and industry continued to grow, local car manufacturers emerged in the form of Tywyn Motorwerks Ltd and Everett Motors in the late 1920s to capitalise on the town's favourable business conditions. These companies specialised in the production of small economical cars, which were popular in the area due to their affordability and handling capabilities on the winding Welsh roads.
The automotive industry in Tywyn continued to grow throughout the 20th century and during the Second World War, local factories developed an aircraft based on a German design, but with an engine produced in Tywyn. By 1950, the number of cars being produced in Tywyn had reached record heights, thanks to the introduction of urban commuting cars and the introduction of innovative features such as air conditioning and disc brakes.
But perhaps one of Tywyn's most famous contributions to the automotive industry came from the local finance industry. During the 1940s, local finance companies began to offer motor loans, enabling people to afford a car who otherwise wouldn't have been able to. This had a significant impact on Tywyn's economy and allowed many more people to own a car and in turn, generated more business for automotive companies.
It wasn't just car loans that helped to build Tywyn's automotive industry though, there was also a growing interest in motorsport in the area. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Tywyn was home to a number of amateur motor clubs, and went on to host some of Wales' largest motorsport events. This included the Anglesey Automobile Club hill climb, which saw drivers from all over the United Kingdom take part in the event.
The popularity of motorsport in Tywyn soon attracted professional drivers and teams, with drivers such as Denny Hulme and Jackie Stewart both having raced in the town. Tywyn's race track was also used as a testing facility for cars like the Ford Cortina, as well as Formula 3 and Formula Junior cars. This contribution to motorsport around the world proved that Tywyn had something significant to offer the automotive industry, even on a global level.
Today, Tywyn's automotive industry has developed into a more youthful battery electric vehicle (BEV) focused sector and is the site of two factories producing the Nissan Leaf and Renault Zoe models. There is also a supporting infrastructure of battery plants, motor dealers and repair businesses that are adapting and modernising the town's automotive sector.
Tywyn's automotive industry is further extended by the Port of Abermenai, which is responsible for much of the town's ferry connections to Ireland and the rest of the UK. Due to this, there are now many transporters and logistics firms in Tywyn, providing swift and efficient services to automotive service providers.
Though Tywyn has changed and grown profoundly over recent decades, it has maintained what made it great in the first place — its strong automotive, finance and motorsport industries. All of these facets combine to give Tywyn its unique character and it is thanks to these elements that the town of Tywyn will continue to thrive and succeed in the coming years.
