Downham Market: A Summary of a Market Town in the East of England

Downham Market is an idyllic market town in the East of England. Nestled in the borders of Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire, Downham Market has a rich history and plenty of potential for its inhabitants and business.

The town is perhaps best defined by its unique location. Downham Market is just 25 miles from both Norwich and Cambridge and has direct access to the M11, providing access to the North and to London, as well as the Midlands. This has made it a popular destination for business and industry, particularly those in the car, finance and motorsport industries.

Downham Market is home to 8,817 people, split between two local government districts, King's Lynn & West Norfolk and Fenland. Its population is 97.2% white British and the majority of people are of working age, with an unemployment rate of 4.3%. Downham Market has an overall population density of 515 people per square km and a median age of 39.

The town's wages are higher than the national average and its Gross Value Added (GVA) per capita is £24,000, reflecting the nature of its local industry.

Connections to the car industry

Downham Market's connections to the car industry trace back to the Second World War, when the town was chosen as the site of a top-secret military research and development base. In particular, the site has been used for testing high-performance, custom-built motors.

These days, Downham Market is home to a major manufacturer of specialist and performance engines, Harding Performance. The company has a long and successful history and is recognised as one of the world's leading designers and manufacturers of high-performance, custom-built racing engines.

Connections to the finance industry

Downham Market is also home to a number of finance and banking institutions. The area is particularly renowned for its Buy to Let mortgage specialists, operating in the area since the 1980s.

The town's close proximity to both Cambridge and Norwich has also made it a popular destination for financial services. The area is well connected to London, allowing businesses to take advantage of London-based contacts and capital markets without the infamously high costs of living in the UK's capital.

Connections to motorsport

Downham Market's connections to the motorsport industry are strong, thanks in large part to Harding Performance. The company is renowned for engineering specialised engines and components for both racing and rally drivers, providing them with a distinct edge over their rivals.

In addition, the outlying nature of Downham Market has made it the ideal place for local drivers to come together and practice and hone their skills. A number of rallies and race events are held in and around the town, drawing in a wide array of competitors.

Conclusion

Downham Market has a long and proud history, steeped in industry and business. Throughout the years, the town has developed strong connections to the car, finance and motorsport industries, appealing to those looking for a business hub in the East of England.

The area's remote location, high wages and Gross Value Added, along with diverse population, have all contributed to its continued success and prosperity. In spite of its small size, Downham Market is an important player in the regional and British economy, with plenty of potential for the future.
