More information about Dinas Powys
The picturesque village of Dinas Powys in Wales is more than meets the eye. Part of the Vale of Glamorgan in South Wales, Dinas Powys is a charming and delightful village that actually has an interesting connection to the car industry, finance industry and motorsport which many of the locals are not even aware of.
A Quiet Village
Between the ancient woods, rolling hills and authentic Welsh culture, Dinas Powys is known to be a quiet and humble village, with a relaxed atmosphere and population of 7,298 according to the latest census in 2017. Dinas Powys is home to many old-fashioned local establishments such as pubs, tea rooms and small shops, giving the village a unique and traditional feel.
Often cited as one of Wales' hidden gems and defiantly a hidden fact that the industacious Vale of Glamorgan has connections to the bullish car industry, Dinas Powys has a special relationship with the motor industry, finance industry, and motorsport.
Business and the Automotive Industry
Apart from the quintessential countryside community feel, Dinas Powys is also home to a notable number of businesses, with one that stands out the most being a leading engine company-TTC Engines Ltd. TTC Engines is best known for their work in with remanufacturing and reconditioning of all petrol and diesel engines for European, Japanese and American cars, making it one of the leading engine companies in Wales.
Dinas Powys also has strong connections to the automotive industry within Europe. Dinas Powys is home to the European arm of a worldwide expert exhaust supplier, Eastern MFB Corporation. Eastern MFB specialises in the manufacture of steel and stainless steel exhaust products, as well as provides services to customers such as performance testing, emissions testing and acoustic development.
These two Dinas Powys based companies not only provide employment for the locals, but also support the automotive industry of Europe. This is a significant reason for why Dinas Powys should be considered that little bit more than your quintessential market town.
The Finance Industry
Dinas Powys' people have involvement within the finance industry too. One of their most notable financial ventures involve a company based in Cardiff—a city just a few miles away from Dinas Powys—the headquarters of the finance company Halourd. Halourd provides a number of different financial services, specialising in investments and plans.
For example, Halourd takes a personal approach to finance and investments, and in particular managed to raise over £800,000 in just six months for a project that restored a national landmark.
Motorsport
Dinas Powys also has connections to motorsport too. In 1937, Leslie O'Neill and his seven-year-old son Tony O'Neill created an open-wheeled one-seater car, with the dream of challenging for national kicks and titles in Wales.
The car was completed at Leslie's home in Dinas Powys and became known as the Dinas Powys Special. This two-seater car went on to become one of the most successful racing cars of its era, and was driven by Tony O'Neill himself in numerous local and European open races. Tony even ended up finishing in the top three at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in 1950.
The Dinas Powys special is still in existence today, with its drivers seat personally signed by Tony O'Neill. It has become a part of Dinas Powys folklore, and a great example of the ingenious Wyndham locals.
Services For the Community
Dinas Powys is also a proud provider of services to its small but tightknit community. It has a small library, post office, a few reputable schools and also a town hall—something Dinas Powys prides itself on just like the car, finance and motorsport industries.
This lovely village called Dinas Powys is best known for its friendly community spirit, fresh air and its breathtaking surroundings, but it's also home to a few businesses with a strong connection to the industries of cars, finance and motorsport. The fact that Dinas Powys produces high quality engines for European cars and is home to a renowned finance company is worth knowing and more widely appreciated.
It also allows us to appreciate the quaint beauty of this village and its history as truly being one of Wales' great hidden gems. Despite its size and relative obscurity, Dinas Powys has plenty to offer in terms of connection to the bigger industrial picture.
