More information about Lymington
Lymington, situated on the Solent on the south coast of England, has been a significant port town since the middle ages. The town's intricate harbour and proximity to the Isle of Wight has made it an attractive destination for shipping and sea travel ever since. In recent years, however, the town has become a hub of the motor industry, finance industry, and motorsport. Here we will explore the fascinating intersection these three industries play in Lymington and the area's demographic make-up.
Car Industry
Auto Enthusiasts will no doubt be aware of Lymington as the home of Jaguar Land Rover's Solent Vehicle Manufacturing Centre, which opened in 2015. It was built on a 22 acre plot near the western shore of the town, replacing an existing Jaguar dealership and creating 1000 full-time jobs when it first opened. It's the only UK plant at which Land Rover builds cars, since it's capable of manufacturing both Land Rover and Jaguar vehicles.
The plant in Lymington is not just limited to the production of cars. It's capable of handling all stages of the design and development process, from designing components to complete vehicles. It also includes several state-of-the-art research and development laboratories to complete electrical and powertrain testing. All of Lymington's facilities are linked to other Jaguar and Land Rover production sites, providing various vehicles with access to parts and design processes beyond what may be found at facilities in the town.
As Lymington's Land Rover headquarters, the bustling Solent Vehicle Manufacturing Centre has become the area's largest employer. Its presence has done a great deal to bolster the town's reputation as a bustling centre of the motor industry with a range of job opportunities for those looking for a career in auto-focussed engineering, sales and services and other related fields.
Finance Industry
While the motor industry plays a large role in the town's day-to-day affairs, the finance sector also has a significant presence in Lymington. As one of the UK's most prosperous towns, Lymington has become a destination for money management, whether this involves investments, trading, or offshore banking. The town has an impressive range of banks and financial services companies ranging from institutional lenders to smaller private businesses. These financial services are located both in the commercial district of Lymington on the High Street, and in the town's beautiful waterfront area.
The aforementioned motor industry also brings a certain global presence to finance institutions in Lymington, having the potential to attract companies and individuals operating at the highest echelons of the banking sector. In addition, Lymington's close proximity to the Isle of Wight, which is a well-known centre of offshore banking, provides further opportunities to do business on an international scale.
It may also be added that there is a large concentration of former or current service members in Lymington. With the Royal Marines and Royal Navy bases nearby, many members of these forces have settled in the area after retiring, to find employment in finance or with the motor industry and motorsport companies.
Motorsport
Finally, the third leg of the Lymington trifecta is motorsport. Over the last decade, the town has seen a rapid increase in the number of businesses focused on motorsport activities, from track racing or organising customized cars to teaching budding racers the ins and outs of racing.
With its easy access to a range of different motosport venues, such as Dumpton Park and Donington Park, Lymington is emerging as a go-to destination for motorsport enthusiasts. This has seen a rise in the number of people travelling to town just to attend events or take part in racing activities. Not only has this increased the number of enthusiasts in town, but it has also provided the local economy with a welcome injection of much-needed expenditure.
Demographics
The population of Lymington currently stands at 20,619 according to the 2011 UK census. Out of these, 10,594 are aged between 16-64, with 47% of the population being in work full-time, 14.9% part-time and 1.7% self-employed. 34.7% of the population were born in the UK, whilst 65.3% were born outside the UK. 22.7% are adherents of the Christian faith, whilst 32.3% identify as having no religion.
Ultimately, Lymington is a port-town unlike any other- which not only houses a large portion of the motor, finance and motorsport industries, but also is home to a population that reflects the variety and diversity of the businesses in the area. The town balances the motor industry, finance industry, and motorsport with ease, blurring the lines between industry and leisure to create a unique atmosphere. The town's demographic make-up has allowed businesses to flourish while its streets remain vibrant, and as long as Lymington can build on its current foundations, there is no reason why this cannot continue in the future.
