Upminster: Connecting Car Industry, Finance Industry and Motorsport
Welcome to Upminster, a suburban town in the London Borough of Havering and the Greater London area of England. Located ten miles from the city's financial centre in the City of London, Upminster has a distinctive identity and close ties with the car industry, the finance industry, and motorsports — so let's explore these connections!
History
Sitting in the historic county of Essex, Upminster has a rich heritage and dates back to the 12th Century, when it served as a small agricultural village and parochial area of Hornchurch. It was also under the ownership of King Harold II and the archbishops of Canterbury and London.
Over time, Upminster grew into an affluent commuter area and the local population blossomed accordingly. Today, the population of the town stands at around 17,000. Notable Upminster natives include the actor John Hurt, singers Alison Moyet and Fran Healey, and footballers Teddy Sheringham and Michael Carrick.
The Car Industry
Upminster is situated near to the M25 road, and is only 20 miles away from the London Olympic Park, which forms part of a major industrial hub known as the Thames Gateway. This area includes the Ford Dagenham car manufacturing plant, one of the largest automotive assembly plants in the UK.
The factory opened in 1931, and has since become the foundation of the Dagenham automotive industry, a hub for global car manufacturers such as Fiat, Citroen, and Vauxhall. This means that Upminster serves as a major industrial centre for the UK's car industry.
The Finance Industry
Upminster is also an important location for the finance industry. Its close proximity to the City of London has enabled it to become an important commuter centre for those working in the finance sector.
The UK financial sector has had a long history in Upminster and the area is home to several international banks, as well as smaller financial institutions. This is why Upminster has become one of the fastest growing financial services locations in London — and one of the most successful in the UK.
Motorsport
When it comes to motorsport, Upminster is particularly well known for its association with the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) — a series of eight motor races held between April and October each year on circuits across the UK.
The BTCC has a long history in Upminster, and since 2009 has held the Upminster Round at the Brands Hatch circuit — an hour's drive away from Upminster. Over 200,000 spectators come to watch each year, making it one of the most popular events in the BTCC series.
Conclusion
Upminster's proximity to London has enabled it to serve as an important industrial centre — one with strong ties to both the car industry and the finance industry. And, with the annual British Touring Car Championship held at the nearby Brands Hatch circuit, Upminster is a destination for those interested in motorsport.
All in all, Upminster certainly has a distinguished identity and representation in UK — a hub for three of the country's most important industries.
