More information about Hinckley

Introduction

The small market town of Hinckley in the United Kingdom has a deep-seated connection to the automotive, finance, and motorsport industries. Located in Leicestershire, Hinckley has been a major commercial center for the local region for centuries, and has a fascinatingly complex history in its commercial development. Following the industrial revolution in the 19th Century, Hinckley's economic base became firmly rooted in a range of industries from weaving to the machine trade, giving way to the town's rich contribution to the car industry, finance industry and motorsport.

A Closer Look at Hinckley

Hinckley is set in the historic borderlands of the two ancient English kingdoms of Mercia and Wessex and is located just south of Leicester, on the Coventry - Leicester railway line. This intersection of railways fast-tracked Hinckley's development into a major hub of business, as well as an important leisure and recreational center.

Hinckley has a population of 24,430, according to the 2011 census. Population density averages approximately 15 people per hectare, far below the county and national average. The town has a large number of automotive and engineering businesses, including car manufacturers and finance institutions. Hinckley enjoys a vast array of locally owned and independent businesses often on the same high street, boosting retail and the town centre economy.

There is an abundance of green space in and around the town, and in 2017, the Hinckley conservation area was designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty. With a temperate maritime climate and a large influx of tourists in the warmer months, Hinckley is a very popular tourist and leisure hub.

Connections to the Car Industry

The car industry has been a major contributor to the local economy of Hinckley since the 19th Century when Herbert Austin, founder of the Austin Motor Company, opened a factory in the town. The Austin Motor Company was one of the leading contributors to the British car industry during the early 20th century and was based in Coventry. Following the 'great depression' of the mid-1920s, the Austin Motor Company was bought by the British Motor Corporation and then eventually by the British Leyland Motor Corporation who, with their subsidiaries, continued to manufacture and assemble cars at the Hinckley based plant up until the 1990s.

Hinckley later became home to one of the largest marques in the world, Jaguar Land Rover. After a relocation from Coventry in the late 2000s, this major automotive manufacturer continues to invest in its Hinckley based operations which employ many local people.

Connections to the Finance Industry

Additionally, the finance industry in Hinckley has grown significantly in recent years. The David Wilson Partnership, a family-run business since 1971, has been a major provider of finance services to the Hinckley area, with their range of mortgages and insurance products, as well as offering financial advice, estate planning, and investment services.

Another finance company, aptly named Hinckley & Rugby Building Society, was established in 1885 and is a mutual organisation dedicated to supporting and helping local homeowners and providing funds for local businesses. Hinckley & Rugby Building Society boasts an impressive community fund and invests directly in the local area by donating to and sponsoring local charities and causes.

Motorsport and Motor Racing

Hinckley has an illustrious history in motorsport, with the locality housing a number of race courses, motocross courses and karting facilities. Most notably, Mallory Park, which first opened in 1956, is one of the most popular race tracks in the region today, having undergone major investment and diversification in recent years. Mallory Park is known for its picturesque views and challenging race circuits, and hosts a variety of events, including motorcycle and car racing, as well as motocross and karting.

The Hinckley and Bosworth area is considered one of the most historic areas for motocross in the country, with Cademan Wood situated close to Burbage Common. The track was originally made up of a number of natural sections, including woodland and farmland, and was used for motocross and scrambling events until the late 1980s.
