More information about Ellesmere Port

Introduction

Ellesmere Port is a vibrant town located in Cheshire in the northwest of England. With a population of nearly 60,000 people and a diverse workforce, it is a thriving centre of culture, enterprise and industry.

Perhaps the most noteworthy aspect of Ellesmere Port's makeup is its strong connections with the automotive and finance industries. As such, the town has become synonymous with the UK's motorsport culture and is a popular hub for many regional financiers.

Moreover, Ellesmere Port has a rich and varied demographic, with many people from different backgrounds and communities living within the local area. Given the opportunities offered by these varied industries and cultures, Ellesmere Port makes an ideal place for anyone looking to live, work or visit.

History

Before it assumed its significance in the automotive and financial worlds, Ellesmere Port was a small rural settlement known as 'Otringham' which started to grow in the early 19th century as a result of its close location with two of the area's main transportation channels, the Ellesmere Canal and the Manchester Ship Canal.

The big industrial push in the area began in the mid-1860s, after the opening of the vast Vauxhall Motors plant. Vauxhall operated a number of factories in Ellesmere Port and quickly became the largest employer in the area and one of the town's biggest success stories.

The opening of a second factory by Ford in the early 20th Century only further cemented the town's status as one of Britain's leading automotive hubs. Between the two of them, they employed around 15,000 people.

The industrial and financial boom in Ellesmere Port didn't stop there, however. Numerous other automotive and engineering manufacturers moved into the area, and in 1907, the Royal Bank of Scotland opened their first branch in the town. Today, the Financial Services Authority (FSA) has recognised Ellesmere Port as a specialist financial hub and it is home to a number of wealth management services and banks.

Finally, Ellesmere Port's motoring credentials have been further enhanced by its proximity to Oulton Park — the UK's most famous motorsport venue. The track plays host to some of the country's biggest motor racing events, including the famous British Touring Car Championship (BTCC).

Demographics

Ellesmere Port has seen its population steadily increase since the 1930s and it is currently estimated to be around 60,000 residents. The town boasts a variety of cultures and ethnic backgrounds, including sizable white, Asian, Irish and black populations.

The 2011 census showed that, of the total population, 86.3% identify as white British with around 7.7% assessing themselves as Asian or Asian British and 6.3% identifying as either black or black British. This gives Ellesmere Port a highly diverse population.

The town has seen a population surge over the last few decades with many people drawn to the opportunities provided by its automotive and finance industries. The town's population is very young in comparison to the rest of Cheshire, with a disproportionately high 18—24 year old population and a median age of just 35.8 years.

Economy

Ellesmere Port's regional economy is centred on the automotive and finance industries but it also has a strong engineering and media presence, too. Over the years, the town's factories have become some of the most successful in the country.

Over 39% of the town's population is employed in manufacturing, with the majority employed in the automotive and engineering sectors. The automotive industry is by far the biggest employer with Vauxhall alone employing over 5,000 people.

Financial services are also well represented in Ellesmere Port, with a strong banking presence. In fact, Ellesmere Port is home to a number of prominent financial institutions such as the Royal Bank of Scotland, Goldman Sachs, Lloyds and the Citi Group.

In terms of media, the town is also home to a major corporate media provider, Arqiva, and the area's 'LEP' or 'Local Enterprise Partnership'. Ellesmere Port has also become a popular tourist destination in recent years, with a number of local attractions including the National Waterway Museum and the ancient boatyards.

Motorsport

As well as providing opportunities for financial and automotive businesses, Ellesmere Port is also a major centre for UK motorsport. The nearby Oulton Park circuit is the UK's premier motorsport venue and one of the most renowned racetracks in the world.

Oulton Park has been the host of a number of prestigious motorsport racing events, most notably the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). This competition has established itself as one of the UK's most popular motor racing events and it has become synonymous with Ellesmere Port's motorsport credentials.

In addition to the BTCC, Oulton Park regularly hosts other events such as drifting, motorcross and even the occasional rally. It draws in visitors from all over the UK and is one of the most visited circuits in the world.

Conclusion

Ellesmere Port is a vibrant and unique example of the UK's dual-faceted economy; a centre of automotive and finance industries, motorsport and a rich cultural and ethnic mix.

The town has come a long way since its early rural beginnings and its strong automotive roots have allowed it to become one of the leading employers in Cheshire. As well as this, its prominent financial sector and motorsport credentials have further established the town as a premier regional centre.
